My second post after introducing myself on geometroforum.com was about this exactly. I can't post links yet because I only have 1 post, so go there if you want to see it. It's in Fuel Economy/Performance a bit of a ways down.
It's a debate for me to be sure. I absolutely want a manual, but as that forum thread told me, the conversion takes a parts car, and an absolute ton of time - probably more than just about any other single job I could do to it. Now that school is in session I have neither of these. In short, for this car, it's not worth it for me. I shouldn't have jumped on my car, either: it has no radio, wasn't well cared for, and had a bunch of electrical issues I knew about when I bought it.
The best option would probably be for me to trade mine in for someone who's willing to sell their manual Geo. It sucks because of the effort I've put into this car, but I'm sure if I do, that person will take good care of it.
