1GGTE/1GFE gearbox

I have browsed the ToyMods website searching for 1G info and found all your inputs very helpful. Great work!
I am getting a 1982 RA60 shipped over from east Malaysia in May. The previous owner has swapped the original engine with a 4AGE20v silver top & it is matched to the original gearbox (gearbox housing cut and welded), the car is very draggy because of the mismatched engine output & gearbox ratio. The fuel consumption is high too.
I have found a 1GGTEU half-cut with automatic transmission for RM2200 (1AUS$ = RM2.9), so far I cannot find a manual half-cut yet, even the gearbox alone is quite rare. The shop is willing to swap the auto and give a 1GFE manual gearbox and the flywheel instead for another RM400.
Is it the same as the 1GGTE manual gearbox? If not, do you guys think it is a good idea? Will it last? Or stick with the auto? I am not going to do any power upgrade to the 1G engine.
