Daniel:
One used to be able to buy a whole SA 5 speed from Overland. If they
still have them available, I'd bet you could re-sell the trans with the
WBX bellhousing and end up with the 5 cylinder bell housing for free.
Also, last sunday, there was a complete kit on  ebay Deutschland that
went for < 300 Euro. He didn't want to ship to US, but I'm sure you
could find someone!
