From an affordability standpoint, a T56 is going to be your best bet - There are other offerings, but from a price and parts availability, you're much better off going T56 in most cases.

Re: possible manual trans swap

is the T56 pretty strong and reliable? are you familiar with how it shifts the power it can handle, etc? thanks
