i recently thought about doing it with my 850 auto. i was able to find a 850 manual though that needed some work, and by the time i was said and done, cost and time was i was better off fixing the manual volvo.

so long story short, you COULD do it, but your time and money is prolly better spent in a new 850 manual

That is kinda major. I would just find one for sale somewhere, send a car inspector to go check it out, fly and pick it up. I think you'll be a lot better off and a lot less hastle.
