Swapping out for a manual transmission would be a pain, but possible. You'd have to get the transmission, clutch, fly wheel, cables, pedal, cut the fire wall, get a new center console, new computer, and probably a couple other gadgets to make it work. The gauge cluster is the same for both transmissions, unless there is something behind the face that's different. You'd probably be better off going for a beefed up auto trans than try and swap out for a manual, maybe something that would give you a sort of "manumatic" ability.
