sell the car and get a 5 speed. thats your easy solution. converting an auto to manual is very expensive and a huge project. you have to run the shift cables, install the clutch pedal, master cylinder, clutch lines.

If you had a V6 auto, your go to guy would be trdgreg to do the swap but since you're a 4 banger, I would suggest the same as the guy above, sell your car and buy a V6 5 manual which will have more aftermarket performance parts. Good luck.
