For what it's worth, my buddy tossed in that CF kit and still hated driving it, he tossed a ton of money at it to "fix" it...he's a hard core manual guy as well, but finally gave in and says he has no regrets.
I mean, he had the 3.6, the 5.7 and now a diesel...hands down, diesel auto for the win.
I know it sucks going round and round to test drive stuff...but, armed w/ what you now have, I do think that is your best bet, next steps, if you truly want one still.
Know this, it'll be easy to find a 3.6 or diesel auto, but good luck finding the manual...you'll probably find a 5.7 swap before you find a stick on a lot...they just don't sell, and if they are used it's cuz someone sold it to get an auto
And to make it even more difficult - in a 2 door
Good luck..I'll toss something on here if I see anything pop up
