itll be worth it, but its hard on the tranny, so start looking for extras, you can find them around for next to nothing. its nice to have a spare laying around.

you should see about 40-60 hp and your tranny should be fine, but it wont last as long as it would stock. but thats a tradeoff we all make when we do anything to our cars. but seriously, those trannys should be dirt cheap. its always good to have a spare layin around when yours breaks.

an auto to manual swap isn't very hard to do. and it might be cheaper to do than to keep buying auto trannys to put in. i've done a couple of swaps and they have always turned out good. i would think that you would be able to get a little more out of your motor as well being able to control the gear/boost timing. i'm definitley not the authority on this so i would listen to sacs, he knows what he's talking about for sure. good luck man!
