It can be done but will take big $$$$ to do it,lots of time at the dealership also for a manual PCM/TCM and programming.

Change fluid, take to dealer immediately and trade off on a manual.

They can only add to the programming and delete some portions,they can not program VIN's into the PCM/TCM and do core programming.

Go find a 6 speed,
buy it change out the drivers seat with your original seat
Then sell the automatic,
it will feel to your butt at least like you still have your old KJ but with a 6 speed! :lol:

Twenty years ago no problem , anymore not worth the hassle
