NFS 5MT: The Situation

Story so far:

02 WRX trans has issues, turns out **** is busted like the tech at SIAS has never seen.

Rather than the gears being chewed up, they were fine, so I may have bought an LGT swap kit for nothing. Well, they do still have their advantages. Anyway, money is currently an issue due to recent SVXpenses.

The options I was given was to find another transmission and use it as a parts source, or just use it and throw stuff in. Pricey, sure.

The other option I have is to replace all the worn parts, with the added risk that failure may be impending due to the "shrapneltastic" nature of the damage incurred. I priced this out, totally comes to over $1000.

I looked around and found an 07 WRX trans. From what I see so far the only difference is it has a 3.7 final rather than 3.9.

1) Is there any reason I can't toss the 07 trans in the car?

2) Is there any reason I can't pull parts from the 07 trans?

3) Anyone got any better ideas?
