Junkyard is probably your best bet.  Took me six months to get a new one.  If you're going with the 3800 as you mentioned in your other post, get one of the Getrag-licensed Muncies available in the 2.8/3.1L cars.  Optionally, you could look for one of the ones with the better gear ratios from the Quad cars, but you'd have to do a bellhousing swap.

Edit:  Plus at the junkyard you'll be able to get all the other necessary parts to swap from auto to manual.

Will a manual trany work on a 2.2? The 3800 is for a different corsica. Were doing that to my buddies.

The 2.2 came with a manual transmission from 1990-1996, but it used an Isuzu tranny rather than the Muncie-Getrag.  So the Isuzu transmission will work for sure, I'm not sure about the other.
