I wouldn't suggest a rebuild unless a shop was rebuilding the box to your specs. I didn't realize it, but a rebuild is based on a visual or failure inspection. Meaning, they only replace the obviously worn or broken parts.
On the rebuild I purchased a few years back (before I knew this info), it lasted for 6mos (2mos outside of warranty) before the INTERNAL speedo gear failed. From what I understand, this gear is a <$20 plastic part. The cost to fix that was essentially the same as a rebuild. Why in the hell wouldn't you replace something like that?
On my 2nd trans, I just went with a used unit and it's been fine. There are available transaxles out there, they just might not be sitting on the shelf at your local auto parts store.
That wouldn't be something that I'd let get in my way of buying another 5spd Aero.
