Do a 5 speed conversion. The automatics are not very good, so I wouldn't bother repairing the trans, just change over to a 5 speed. A lot of threads on the procedure.

no need to cut holes or anything of that nature.. the only thing that requires some real work is the Tranny Crossmember .... its almost a direct swap...
