Rulings
Additional mana spent to cover the differences in mana costs is not part of the mana cost of this spell. It is spent during spell resolution.

Because the "search" requires you to find a card with certain characteristics, you don't have to find the card if you don't want to.
2004-10-04
If the chosen artifact costs less than or the same as the sacrificed artifact, you simply put it onto the battlefield without paying any additional costs.
2004-10-04
The one from the library enters when the spell is resolved, and this does not count as the casting of an artifact.
2004-10-04
You can't sacrifice more than one artifact to this spell.
2004-10-04
The sacrifice of an artifact is an effect of the spell, not a cost, which means it happens as the spell resolves. If Transmute Artifact is countered, you do not have to sacrifice an artifact.
