Just wait to find a manual. There is nothing wrong with the auto though.

I say go for it, the conversion is only a 10 minute job, and you can easily source a 6speed trans & centre console off the shelf from repco/supercheap for reasonable price.

It'll be a lot more than waiting for a manual one to come along. Not to mention your ECU will need to be tricked to work, the dash cluster is different, and you may have issues trying to sell the car later on down the track.
Thought of doing this when I had my GT... it was going to be in the vicinity of at least $7K.

It probably also didn't have an ECU, right?
