About three years ago tranny was power flushed. I have a feeling that it does this after that flush.
Switch to manual is a strong point and I like this idea. It means to sell this car and buy another one. I don't want to sell it because I put much effort to keep this car reliable. If I buy another car it either more money to put at a purchase or later for repairs.
Well the cost to install a tranny onto a manual car wouldnt be that much compared to buying another car thats 5spd.
I would assume a manual tranny will cost around 800
parts and ECU say another 300, and labor is where its going to get you.
So I would assume no more than 1500-2000 for the swap....( Just a guess )
