Converting AUTOMATIC to MANUAL

["dmc_delorean_2000" <dmc_delorean_2000@xxxx>]

hi
I've had a Lot and I mean ALOT of problems with my automatic 3 spd 
transmission since getting my car and the problems just get worse and 
worse. rahter than fix it more or buy a new auto DMC tranny, would it 
be finacialy possible to convert to a delorean 5spd tranny? meaning 
would it be worth doing? I mean whats it going to take to do this 
conversion? about how much am i going to spend doing it? would i be 
able to do this myself or will I be in WAY over my head? I was 
originally going to put in a ZF 4hp22 4spd automatic tranny (idea and 
info by bob brandy), but upon intensive research found that it is 
going to be a very complicated and expensive task. I also found that 
it too (as with many Auto Trannys) has its share of problems, and I 
dont need any problems. anybody have any suggestions or ideas as to 
what kind of parts im going to need and man hours need, ETC. any 
input would be helpful
Thanks
