Tranny Conversion

Anyone have any exp with this? I have a 98 M3 Sedan automatic with 114K miles on it. Well it died Monday and the mechanic I goto said they would have to order one from Germany since they are hard to find and no one rebuild them. He said it would cost around 5 grand for a new auto tranny. I did check with BMW if they have a swap program to get a rebuilt one and it costs also 5 grand.

I was toying with the idea of turning into a manual anyway so I guess what better way than now right. I checked with a local person that sells a manual kit for around 2 grand. They did mention to me that my ASC would not work since they would have to reprogram my car to think its a manual anyone ever get around this?

One last question anyone know of someone who wants a auto tranny that needs rebuild Should I sell it on ebay I'm sure I can get something out of it?
