You could always throw in a cheap 5 speed. You would need 2.7L rear brakes, spindles, carriers, ebrake cables, and CV joints. It wouldnt be a downgrade in terms of braking capability. You would need a 2.7L clutch kit/flywheel but that's not really any additional cost if you were going to change it and do the IMS anyways. I have a 5 speed with my 3.2L engine and it's great.

Swapping it over is a lot easier than parting the car out. You could sell the S items and get close to breaking even.
