The 5spd will fit. But, what problem are you having with the auto? Might be something simple.

How do you know it's not just the Governor solenoid and switch(transducer)? And or the TCC solenoid unit.

yeah, that's a pretty good sign its finished.

if you MIGHT be hard on transmissions then I doubt the 3.9 manual is going to hold up either
