You may want to get the code read, possibly by AutoZone, to see if it is the transmission setting the MIL. A restricted exhaust or a faulty MAF sensor could also be the problem. From your description, it sounds more engine related.

I have to agree with Steve on this one. You may want to get it diag'd before making any rash decisions Also with all the computer controls on your car, swapping it out to a manual isn't a very doable option. I'm not sayings it's impossible but by the time you get done changing all the harnesses & modules to go with the manaul trans you will have spent more than the car is worth....

The P1582 is Idle adaptation at limit. I didn't get much more info it but it sounds like a trim problem where comp has adjusted the air/fuel mix as far as it can to correct the problem and can't adjust any more

Steve has a few good suggestions on where to start looking
