Advice needed plz

[Abaaba]

I got 1.4 which is clean (no rust) and am planning to keep it for a long time. I have broken 2 sensors (oil and crank speed sensors on both boxes) when I was changing the gearbox. The car drives but it doesnt feel right.

I am struggling to get replacements unless I buy a whole new auto box which I really dont need (cost about £100) so my question is....wouldnt it be better (in the long run) to get a MOT failed manual k11 as a donor and change it to manual?

I will add pictures later....

Why did you change the box ?

The old one gave up....not sure if it was the torque converter or the box itself but it wouldnt move the car... oil, shafts and everything else checked before changing the box.
