Default swapping to a 5spd

have a '01 xj auto. 50,000 miles and the ECU is going bad. i am now convinced that the only solution is to go to the dealer and cough up $700+ and hope it does not prematurely goes bad. now the choice-
i always wanted a 5spd. so im going to buy a new ECU for a 5spd XJ, not a auto. want to run a NV3550. is my transfercase compatible with the manual? other than the ECU, does anyone know about anything else i need to know before i start. trying to minimize problems now not later. thank you.

PCM not ECU...K?

So why do you think the PCM is going bad. Details please.

How does changing from an automatic to a manual correct your PCM issue?
