Do what most do, leave it, drive it till it stops. If you can't be bothered with a functioning keyboard in front of you, to look it up, or want others as yoru research fellow, your car won't make the miles to see a break-even, let alone a profit, anyway.

Definitely, definitely don't convert.
I know about the PCV issue, and am planning to cleaning it out this month. I knew about the auto gearboxes requiring regular transmission fluid changes. I also know about the bevel gear issues on the AWD system (mainly because mine has the issue). But I hadn't heard about issues with the manual box, hence my question.

I do try and do as much of my own maintenance as possible, and I don't believe in not asking for advice when things get beyond me. I'd rather consult the expert, and conversely, share my knowledge if I can help!
