Go OEM for the inner tie rods and water pump. They cost as much or cheaper than aftermarket.
As for front endlink replacement, you can buy REAR endlinks for a 00-06 Mini Cooper and they will work.
Lastly, if going manual, hydro clutch is not that difficult compared to cable. The cable can also snap on you easily, and it's a $70 cable from Subaru.
Hmm. Thank you for informing me. I was not aware that was the case. I already have the bushing but I have not got around to purchasing the other parts I said I needed. Is there a swaybar I can get that will fit them or should I return them? As for the transmission I'm really not informed enough or have enough funds to even start considering that right now, but I do want to plan ahead and I do want to do it eventually. Currently just worried about it slipping between 2nd and 3rd gear when driving slowly.

Re: 92 SVX sway bar and tie rods

As for the transmission, you should change the fluid (dextron3 will work) and most important, disconnect the transmission cooler at the radiator and blow air into the outlet to blow out any debris in the screen on the inlet. This screen was present only in the 92, and is known to get clogged, eventually destroying transmission due to restricted flow.

Re: 92 SVX sway bar and tie rods

Unless someone is selling a Nevin bar or you buy one from Motorsport Warehouse, I'd return them and buy the 17mm bushings.
Also, if you buy the bar from Motorsport Warehouse, try to buy/make some beefier endlinks. You will bend the stock ones easily with the upgraded 22mm bar.

Re: 92 SVX sway bar and tie rods

Transmission cooler advice noted. Thanks for the tips guys. As for the tie rods and bushings I'm beginning to get frustrated as to what I'm actually looking for. This is mostly due to my inexperience, but I've received multiple answers online and in person and all seem to be a little differant each time. At this point I'm considering taking the car to a dealership or shop and saying "have at it" .. gonna be way more expensive but I'll be honest, in regards to swaybar links, bushings, and tie rods, I have no idea what I'm talking about or looking for. Going to see if I can return those bushings I bought...
