I would do a manual conversion, but it takes a bit more time and parts.

too many nuetral drops?

if you need help...... get a chiltons or haynes manual from auto zone, my first tranny swap was on a 90 corolla when i was 17...... it didnt go to bad, it only took 3 weeks lol. the only problem is.. you will end up spending more on tools and stuff as you did the trans. i think i got my auto trans for $350 shipped, but spent atleast that much on jackstands, jacks, sockets, axles, wrenches, fluids, beer, weed for my friends to come give advise, etc........
just remember, installation isnt always "reverse of removal"
if you have the money to take it somewhere DO IT, if not, at least make sure you fill the torque converter with fluid before you install it.
the hardest part is just getting under it and getting dirty, youll figure it out

well i found out it might be the cable having broken pieces or need to be reset hopefully the dealer can check it out and maybe replace the solenoids for the shifter
