Possible? Maybe, but practical? Nope. It would be necessary to install a clutch pedal and all the parts necessary to release and engage the clutch. Numerous electrical conversions would need to be redone and the ECU would need to be reprogrammed. Then there will be all the unknowns such as are the drive axles compatible, etc, etc, etc. I would either consider getting a different car, obtaining a used automatic transmission and installing it or having your existing transmission rebuilt.
