I think the Subaru rebuilt trans is the way to go if you want an automatic. There are many more parts included and the warranty is 2 yrs and the price is less.

However, you are only driving the car for 10 minutes at a time and the auto trans does not have any time to warm-up. This may cause the trans to work a lot harder as it pushes around that cold thick fluid. Take it easy on it. A 5 spd may actually work better for you.

I would also be concerned about the exhaust not getting hot enough to dry out the water.
