2008 Jeep Patriot 4x4, 2.4 4cyl, rare 5 speed manual, Great shape, Needs work

2008 Jeep Patriot 4x4, -owner, .4L 4 cylinder, are 5 speed manual transmission (needs work), C, D, n dash GPS upgrade from dealer, rand new BFG tires (less than 500miles), ew Napa Battery (1-week ago), ngine and 4x4 work great. The transmission has a loud bearing noise coming from it. Transmission will need rebuilt. The Jeep does still run and drive. Clutch feels good. It just has that transmission noise when you drive it. That being said, would tow or have the Jeep shipped. Im not sure how reliable it will be with the transmission as is. I had a local transmission shop quote me $1200 for a full rebuild if I pull it out.
My wife is the original owner. I was planning to fix the Jeep for her, ut we ended up buying a new Jeep last week. This jeep has been a excellent vehicle and worth fixing. It got 27mpgs on the highway and never needed any major work till now. The body and paint are in excellent condition. There is no rust or damage. The interior is also in good shape. The drivers seat shows some wear on the outside edge. I will post more pictures by this weekend.
