Default Is it really worth the money?

I have a 1999 Trans Am A4 and i love it yet i cant help the want of the manual. my question would be is would it really be worth the money to swap it to a M6 as far as reliability goes. im not too knowlegable about the T56 but i know my 4L60E isnt exactly the strongest tranny in the world (in the shop getting a beast shell and rebuilt after i had it a week). Any insight would be helpful. this might have already been asked but i searched and couldnt find it so if it has im sorry.

-Thanks in advance

If I had to do it over again I think I might have went with an auto for two reasons. The rear holds better on autos and you can put a stall converter on and drop some times quickly. Stay with the auto.

It's really up to you and it depends on what you want. This topic has been absolutely beaten to death.

If you're looking for realibility, just have your tranny rebuilt and have it done right.

If you want something thats more fun to drive, thats when the M6 comes in. Stalled A4 is just as fast if not faster.
