Never played with transparent proxies, but have you checked man
ssh_config and the ProxyCommand option? It suggests

    For example, the following directive would connect via an HTTP proxy
    at 192.0.2.0:

        ProxyCommand /usr/bin/nc -X connect -x 192.0.2.0:8080 %h %p

Hope this helps,

James.
