I have to agree about the tranny, but a short shifter helps a lot. I've had two 9-5 Aero manuals (still have one) and I have a '97 9000 Aero, and the 9K definitely shifts smoother. The 9-5 has a short shifter, while the 9K has the factory shifter. Go figure. Still, I personally wouldn't touch an auto 9-5; the paddles are a joke IMO and the auto box is electronically torque limited down low even more than the manual, and is known for not being able to handle big torque numbers - not sure if that would be an issue for you but it is for me.
Cheers
