If you worry about your tranny failing then a 5spd would be your best bet. Yes it's costly but will save you money in the long run.
Change the AT fluid after it changes color. Compare the fluid on a white surface compared to new fluid. It's your judgement.
If you don't know how long it's been, change the internal and external filters. Installing a cooler is easy. Most put it between the rad and A/C condenser.
High termperatures is the biggest killer of our trannies. The cooler they run the better. The worn clutch material may affect fluid flow so what fluid does move needs to be cooled as best as possible.
