I think you're on the right track, and once you put in a little wheel time with a 9- or 10-speed you'll find they are a real easy transmission to live with.
It's interesting that the earlier "Autoshift" trannies had a clutch pedal for "starting or stopping". Funny thing is, that's all most guys use it for with a manual. Ya gotta learn to "float 'em", after which life gets MUCH simpler. Best of luck to you. You're gonna have fun.
