Its not worth it, if anything change your auto to a 6 Speed. Buy a T-56 with all the parts for around $800-$1200. ?If you can manage to do all the labor by yourself you shouldn't need more than $1500 for the project.

Why is it not worth it?

A T56 is stronger than the T5, plus you get double overdrive with the 6 speed, and it's pretty much the same amount of work/cost.
