For what it will cost him, he could probably sell the AT Elantra and buy a new MT Elantra and absorb the loss. Then he would also have his warranty intact. Why would someone buy a car and a year later want to do this??

Well the trannies sell on ebay for about $200 - $400. And you might find one close to you so you can arrange an inspection with the seller so it's not purchased sight unseen. I have no idea abotu cost of how much of a PITA is may be especially if he's got a friend doing labor for free.
