If your transmission went out on a 1998 Dodge Ram should you get a new automatic trans or would it be cheaper to switch to manual?

Im swapping in amanual this time. I should have done it right the first time it went out and got rid of the auto then.
stick with the auto. The amount of work involved in conversion would be too much. Plus cost of a flywheel,clutch assy, and trans would be huge.Be sure to have trans codes checked before a overhaul. Once in a great while I fix a Dodge because it needs a sensor or such. Dan the tranny man
Well i have a 96 dodge 1500, and depending on what the trans is doing it could also be the relays in the transmission. If it seems like it won't shift into the higher gears or like its slipping that could be the problem. To say the least I'm just a mechanic wana be lol.

Do you change the transmission fluid in a manual?
A manual transmission does not typically use [automatic] transmission fluid, or "ATF." As it is just a gearbox, it is usually filled with "gear lube" oil formulated for the task. Whatever type of lubricant is specified by the transmission manufacturer, it should be changed occasionally due to oxidation breakdown with heat and time. Consult the owner's manual for the proper fluid and interval. It should be much longer than an automatic transmission.
