Not rocket science. You'll want a good jack or some really strong
buddies. If you swap the transmission, might as well redo the clutch
while it is apart. Probably need a pilot tool, some places rent them
but not hard to buy--used to align everything when you put it together
to avoid vibration.

If it is the tranny, see if you can identify the model transmission and
ask here if the old Redline trick might keep it running for a while.

They are extremely picky about the correct transmission fluid in them,
even for a top up.

If someone even topped it up with the wrong grade fluid, the syncros
will act like they are dying. If it is a little low in fluid, same thing.

The cheapest and easiest thing to do would be a fluid change, then you
know for sure that isn't the issue.

It is 'very' unusual for the tranny to go out on a 4 banger, but can
happen. It 'sure' isn't worth jury rigging something else to fit when
there are tons of them on the road so the wreckers should have good used
one if you aren't up to a rebuild.
