The biggest negative effect is going to be your poor, poor clutch...
I will say that once you get the hang of a manual transmission, you will end up preferring it, especially if you're an eco driver. There are so many more opportunities for hypermiling.

Side note: If you know someone who drives a manual transmission and you can trust, have them give you advice while driving!
