Transmission swap?automatic to manual

Would anybody recommend me to change the automatic trans for a manual one? Does the manual on a 08 S197 have common issue like problems with shifting and stuff like this?

Is there any 6speed that is offered to work with the Mustang gt 2008?

I would check out this new Tremec 6-speed as it eliminates all the shifting issues associated with the externally mounted shifters like the normal GT 5-speed or the GT500 6-speed ( which can be retrofitted into a GT).

TREMEC MAGNUM XL

Too bad you are not closer as I want to go the other way from manual to auto this winter.

Save for the magnum, this trans is a piece of crap, mine went out at 40,000, but thousand is not bad for everything cause I don't know what you need with the magnum,
