A used tranny can be had for $200-$300 (car-part.com). Clutch needs to be replaced either way. It is the labor that will kill you - count for $1000+.
On a bright side - the clutch would likely need to be replaced soon anyway (although our first lasted 180k and the second has 95k and still going).
It is a good time to replace subframe and sway bar bushings.
By start with chacking MT fluid level. I had a VW Golf with transmission noise - after adding oil the car was good for another 100k miles.
If you end up selling it - don't fix it. Wait for a good offer. Aero MT wagons are the best and 2004 is the best year - just way for the right buyer. The car is probably worth $5000 even with the transmission problem.
