whoever told you that, go smack em in the head right now

No, they won't replace it with a manual tranny. Also, don't mess up your tranny on purpose and take it to them to fix, it's people like that, that make us have to pay out the arse for everything

In short, the person who told you this has no clue what they're talking about and is trying to sound smart

Also, you can't install a manual transmission INTO an auto....I guess they told you that too huh? Sheesh, don't listen to ANYTHING that person says about cars lol.
