Conversion to manual transmission

Hallölö Since my automatic transmission seems to be going over Jordan soon, I’m thinking of converting to switches (because automatic pig-priced).My question : can I simply flange the manual transmission or do I need any intermediate thing for this, as was the case with BMW? Does the automatic transmission hang together with the motor control unit or does the automatic have its own control unit ? My project: Buy accident or engine damage (because of pedal engine is an X20XEV, 2.0 16 V Only precaution for the very clever: I used the search function, but unfortunately did not find a suitable entry !
