CVT swap to std auto trans?

Greetings. Just picked up a 140K 2003 r50 with the dreaded CVT that won't shift out of low after warmup either in D or manual shift mode. Is it worth trying a flush and maybe shifter solinoids or something, or best to start looking for a 6spd? Alternatively, has anyone ever tried swapping in a std auto trans - adapting one from a Corolla, for example? Thinking outside the box, Ron
