Please help, need options, trans is ruined

I have my '87 700R4 Trans and two days ago started making clunking sound and waits to shift from 1st till about 2700 rpms and same from 3-4. Took it to a trusted transmission place and said I chipped some teeth on my reverse gear and things are bouncing around and I need a complete rebuild (I agree).

Thing is it's going to cost 1200 total for everything new.

I'm re-doing the interior so could I switch to a manual since I'm having to start new anyway???? How hard would that be? and $$$ wise. All the interior is out of the car so everything is exposed...

or would it just be better to go ahead with the rebuild and be done with it...

What do you enjoy driving, an auto or a manual. Go with what you want.

1200 is pretty fair, youll spend a lot more than that converting to a manual

$1200 is reasonable. Just fix it.
