Nononono...Manual Valve Body Conversion - makes it run like a stick without
the clutch.

I'm not really that gung-ho to put a stick in my truck, it's a *lot* of work
to convert (played that game before) and I kinda like not having to row
sometimes as I do a lot of stop and go driving. Or were you referencing to
a manual valve body? If so, I think that'd be less desireable than
converting to a stick...

Which manual would bolt up to my V6 and how durable have they been under
heavy use compared to a slushbox? I'm also assuming that the driveshaft
would have to be changed as well...can APS provide that too?
