EDIT: re the top moving slowly, it's compared to other cars I've driven. I hadn't considered converting it to a manual operation, though one of the cars I looked at did have those motors removed. It seemed to scratch up the paint and gaskets in a not-so-great way so I'm a bit hesitant to go that route.
You don't have too remove the transmission motors to go manual. Disconnect a few parts, you're good to go. Manually I operate my top in half the time the motor takes. I'll get around to correcting it, but I'm in no hurry.
