accuratein did it, i think the s/c is the hardest part. which is why i asked what other mods... that s/c might take awhile to disassemble right.

Sometimes one can't teach a family member how to drive as the emotions sometimes flare up....pay for a driving instructor/ school and done deal....All my kids learned from me after one of them (the oldest) said to me...stop yelling at me...I opened my eyes and from then on he made me a better father...now all of them have standard transmission cars and laugh when we get together during the Holydays and reminisce...

i guess the real question is does she want to get rid of the POS 2005 Mercedes? i dont understand why something would be overthought like this. if the want the Mercedes gone then trade it for a TSX or something. no point in putting more money in the TL so soon, it wont pay off.

If she isn't going to drive the TL and you won't part it out and trade it, the only logical solution is as follows:
1) Return the TL to stock.
2) Trade with someone who has an AT.
3) Put your mods on the new-to-you TL.
Actually swapping the transmission and all of the associated parts will be a major PITA. Swapping your mods to another car will be much easier...just as ACCURATEin.
