It's definitely worth changing from a/t to 5spd. Did that and never regreted. The car feels lighter and is more fun to drive. Feels more powerful as I can now control the RPM range on the shift.

If it wasn't for the mechanic who washed out my engine compartment and in the process getting water into my auto dip-stick, I would still be driving a boring a/t setup! The a/t is not for this car.

It wouldn't help for me to advise you on parts and pricing because we're not in the same country.

Good luck and make the change over.
