As long as the engine is the same size, manual or auto transmissions should bolt up properly. If the vehicle has different engine options, make sure they are the same engines or else they will not bolt up.
That's the simple and basic answer... Going from one to the other isn't simple plug and play. Manual transmissions are simple, require gear oil, no cooling for the oil, no independent ecu, and usually different length of a drive shaft or CV axles (rear or front wheel drive). An automatic require automatic tranny oil specific to the make's requirements, hooks up to the radiator to cool the oil, and an independent ecu. Wiring is also different along the engine's wiring harness. Also, The alternator's wiring harness maybe affected. Relays maybe required aswell.
Can a manual and auto tranny be changed/switched? Yes
Is it practical? Absolutely not! There is alot to it that just a bolt on. Auto to Manual is easier, but you will need hydrolic lines for the clutch.

Yes, they're both M20 engines, as long as both engines share the same type of transmission- auto or manual etc.
Yes the engines are exactly the same if they are of the same year
No manual and auto are different.No manual and auto are different.
Manual, yes. Auto, no.Manual, yes. Auto, no.
The same weight recommended in the owners manual.The same weight recommended in the owners manual.
yes. If you're only swapping the engine they're usually all the same. Ask someone at an AutoZone or specialized auto parts store for more information on swapping engines. You'll need a manual. And there are a lot of sensors involved, so don't forget to put everything back on when you're done swapping! Specialized cars have engines that aren't interchangeable, but usually its not the engine that has a distinction between auto and manual, its what is connected to the engine such as the transmission and the intermediaries between the two.
because they are harder to drive less people want them since the demand is lower the cost has to be lower #EditedByAnotherUser : Also, it depends on the location. US have more auto cars whereas France for example has more manual cars, so the price vary. Manual cars take less gas than auto, and if you analyze correctly, you'll notice manual cars are faster than auto (when using same model of cars and same engine. For example, take 2 Kia Spectra, same year, same engine, one auto, and one manual: the manual one accelerates and goes faster than the auto.)
Yes you may.Make sure you have an auto tranny for the same car type.remove the cluthch cover and replace with a torque converter and an auto tranny.
Consult the manufacturers manual. Not all engines use the same mixture.
Automatic and Manual gearboxes are essentially the same, except that the driver does the shifting for a manual gearbox(my personal preference), and a computer shifts for an automatic gearbox.
then your manual
