An uncle of mine tried to put the same Getrag transmission fitted to some Opels and Saturns into a Pontiac Trans Sport with a 3800 V6. The problem was having to CNC-ing a new flywheel which was hard to get properly balanced.

Most likely plan is going to switch to a little four-banger with a 5-speed.

I'd not disconsider a Diesel. BTW the Cummins R2.8 is supposed to fit into most applications for which a 2.2L 4-banger turbodiesel would be called for, so it may serve you quite well. It's already used in some space-constrained applications such as those forward-control vans in Asia (mostly Chinese copies of the previous-generation Toyota HiAce), so it seems like you wouldn't get too many clearance issues to overcome.
