Default changing transmission

due to my daily commute to school(45 min+ with traffic), i decided to get an automatic tC. but now i regret it and i have some questions about changing my transmission. since my car is still new(08) with only 5k miles on it, could i possibly remove my auto tranny and get it sold back to the dealership or anywhere else and get a manual installed? i mean i know the change is possible but i was wondering if i'd get a good amout of money for the auto tranny. my basic concern is the price.. and im wonding if it is worth it.

Your better off doing a trade-in. By the time you buy a tranny, clutch setup, and what ever else ya need then add labor. Man, your talking about some change. The dealer cannot buy any parts from you. There is a whole legal issue with that.

You'll save money and time by doing a trade in.

Trade it in man, while working on Subaru's for over 5 years, the same question comes up all the time.

Save yourself massive headaches and just trade it in, or sell it, and get a new vehicle, soryr couldn't give you the answer you would've liked.

Yo Carbon. You did not always have an RS 3.0 did you? I thought you took a Flint Mica to Kenny? So, is it all finished? Tony wouldn't tell me much.
