go to preludepower.com
Its an american based site but it has a lot of information on things like transmission changes.

And preludeaustralia.com is pretty good for all other things 5th gen related.

yeap.. probably cheaper to put the manual in then it will be to fix/find a new auto box

Changing the semi-automatic gearbox to a manual is definitely possibility but a very expensive exercise. You will have to find a manual gearbox, check the clutch replace if need be, shifter and cables, pedals and ECU. Will set you back about $2-3,000.00! A hefty price but in the long run a better alternative as the semi-automatic gearboxes tend to fail from around 150,000 k's onwards...which means your up for the same money getting your auto gearbox reconditioned.
