need advise

I believe I have developed serious problems with my 88 SPG
Yesterday I noticed a significant increase in the loudness of transmission whine while coming back from work. Now it is to the point that when I let off the accelerator at cruising speed I hear the whine (previously I would only hear a subtle whine while cruising).
Overall the car is in good shape except for unravelled seat leather and clear coat damage on the hood. The engine is strong with only 124k. All accessories work except cruise.
Now I would love to replace the transmission yet this would probably cost much more than the car is worth and what I paid for it. I have a few questions.
1. Who makes a quality rebuilt manual transmission for the SPG and what year do I stress (I remember people writing in the past later year manual transmissions are better)?
2. What kind of cost is involved (for people who have already done this)?
3. Can this problem be fixed without replacing the transmission (doesn't sound like it can be)?
4. what would you do?
thanks in advance
tim
