Put a shift kit in before you do anything but if the transmission has a lot of miles rebuild it with a hi-proformance kit from vendors like TST. Depending on the HP then go to torque converter.

Rush out first and buy a 5 or 6 speed and a clutch pedal.
I have a brother -in law that i told him the same thing. In his case that was 2 auto's supplied and installed by d/c Three BDs re man transmission-shift kits -torque convt-one Under warranty,sensors,Cooler witn fans - temp gauges, larger lines (NOT in any Order)
His buddy (money no object) same and more then 6 mo ago he got a fd.
You can tell if the auto could handle it d/c would'nt sell it de- rated compaired to
a manual.
Rule of thumb has been for 5 years you want a auto & (Not de- rated)that will last longer buy fd.
Want a stick get a Dodge.
Hard truth but so is life!
Another note if you buy any auto ,tow or push,first thing install a aux cooler and temp gauge. Best on the market mounts under the bed has two cooling fans with it's own sensor's .
