Your tranny might be dying away slowly because you abuse it by shifting it like it's a manual when it's not. I'd suggest not doing that until you know for sure you can attain all manual parts before destroying your ride. Just an idea. and maybe try looking on e-bay and some other places for all the parts you'll need. you'll need something similar to the hasport auto-manual conversion thing, the tranny, an ecu, short shifter, shift linkage, bushing, clutch, flywheel, 3 pedal set off a comprable car, clutch lines, clutch master and slave cylindars, some couplers, and a little beer to ease the pain of this process.
