I'm really interested in what the best transmission is to swap in.
I'd love a 5-speed, but the budget's tight, so an auto might work better.
Are there any transmissions out there that are a direct swap? I don't have alot of fabrication ability as I am lacking a good welder. I've found several auto tranny's for $400-$500 from subaru's ranging from '92 Impreza's to '04 WRX's
What's the most cost-effective option?

Getting a tranny from a 94-97 SVX would probably be the cheapest method. Just jack it up and plug it in. With any of the other trannies you need to change out the rear diff. Add to that after 1999, the bolt pattern on the bellhousing changed, so that's an obstacle to overcome as well.
