There is not better. They both serve the same purpose. To transfer power from the engine to the drive wheels. Manual transmissions are not for everyone. It takes some skill and practice to be proficient at using the manual. In the past most vehicles would get better mileage with a manual but today the difference is not as much on modern automatics. A vehicle equipped with a manual is cheaper to purchase and cheaper to repair. So there are pros and cons to both. The choice is yours.

It is not necessarily better it is just more convenient. A manual transmission car will normally get a little better mileage. An automatic is more costly to build so the vehicle costs more to buy. An automatic is easier to drive because you do not have to shift. Their are pros & cons to each one.

Yes it can be done, but there is really no point as it is a big job and will cost more than its worth. Plus a manual transmission is way better than a automatic.

Is automatic car better than manual car?

it depends how you drive, if you like speed most likely a manual car is better, if you like comfort obviously a auto is better simply because theres not the slight rock from changing gears because the car does it automatically, obviously there are outliers, like (manual cars with smoother shifting capabilities, ( jeep range rover) and automatic cars that are faster ( the custom build automatic lamborghini(*rare), or the BMW which gives you the option to drive auto or manual!)
