+1 on what @Sandstone said. The plus side, however, is that the manual transmission is probably the cheapest one to have rebuilt or replaced out of all the options available on the Patriot.

Ditto both the above. The electronics are so complex that changing the transmission is going to affect a lot of other things. The manual tranny is much more reliable and durable than the CVT. I'd say keep it the same.

The Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass also use this transmission so that might make finding a used replacement transmission easier.
