What did the dealer tell you was wrong with your tranny?? 

>1. Should a transmission swap be needed?

Maybe, if you cant do it, or have a freind who can help you, then that would be 
the next option.

>2. Can the old transmisson be rebuilt?

Sure, depending on whats wrong with it will determine whether or not its worth 
it.

Yup. 

>4. Or just do and entire engine and tranny swap?


No, you can use most any A2 tranny. Just note that there are close ratio boxes 
and wide ratio boxes. So theres yet another option for you.
