Transmission question (850 Turbo)

Hey new to the Volvo scene and finding the forum layout different than what I am use to. If this has been answered please link me to correct place.

To the question: my 850 is shifting very strange and missing and generally telling me the transmission most likely will go soon. I was curious to what type of upgrades / swaps would be possible. I am hoping to go to a manual transmission (which I know there is a rare manual for the 850s but fairly hard to find in the states) or a triptronic / computerized shifting style like on some jags, bmws, ect where you can shift gears or go automatic.

Are there any transmissions (maybe out of other cars) that can be swapped to mate to the turbo engine on these cars? I can reroute the turbo if need be.

OR should I be looking at beefing up the auto-transmission?

Thanks for your help.
