Here is the list of pretty much everything that the tech wants to replace:

I believe it is the 02-05 WRX 5 spds that have the 1.1:1 center diff that allow the stock SVX rear diff to be used. (might be 06 included in that as well) The 02 and 03 WRX have the weaker gears in them and are very prone to failure. If you found one, you should be able to get it for just a couple hundred dollars and then just have the shop put in the new gears that you already picked up. Should end up cheaper than completely rebuilding your old trans, cheaper than getting a new good transmission, could end up cheaper than finding a 3.70 rear diff and the installation to match the 3.70 front differential although that would be my close second choice if I were you.
