I don't think there is a way to convert your existing electric shift transfercase to a manual shift. You can easily swap transfercases to a manual shift. Aside from cutting a hole in your floor, it should be a bolt up job.

Check out this write-up for converting from 2wd to 4wd.

Your automatic lockouts will work, but they don't have a very good reputation. Most people swap out their auto lockouts for manual.

I don't think you have to cut a hole in the floor if you find the tunnel plate for a manual tranfer case rig. It is a bolt in deal.

i have autolockers and its really nice, but in the end i dont like them, if you are on the trails and in the mud alot they will retain liquids and rust out some. and soon as i get off the trail i go wash my truck so i know its not from letting it sit
