You do not want to buy a transmission at retail. It would be much
MUCH
cheaper to buy a wrecked or otherwise low-priced car with a manual transaxle for a parts donor car. Then you would also have all the associated mounts, linkages, cables, and computer parts as well as the clutch system, and a reference for how it all goes together.
Plus spare parts for you to keep in the garage. Sell a few more parts, and let the junkers pay you scrap value to haul the carcasse away.
I thought the price was a little on the high side, but I gave $800 for a car with a snapped timing belt. I came out at least even, considering parts $old. Considering hassle saved, it was totally worth it.
