Gregor, usually if the trans is going to go it goes reverse first then the
other gears.  But check your fluid and linkage first before declaring it DOA.
I can get you a good price on a rebuilt autotrans with a two year warranty if
you want.  Putting a manual tranny in there and the linkage is a pretty big
undertaking and unless you have a bunch of money or your own shop I wouldn't
attempt it.
Besides the auto trans is usually way more reliable than the manual box.
