I get it, sorta, when you can't find the MT option you want but the AT is all over the place.

Still, I'd rather go to a completely different car than pour all the money in that would be required for either of these when new.

Now, my car that has 230,000+ miles on it and is worth maybe $4,000 I could see starting with it and doing an engine swap that included the trans. I wouldn't do just the trans though.

But hey, your car your choice and YRMV. (your rational may vary)
