My advice is to google it again and learn that all LSes came with 5 speeds. First gen autos came with the 5R55N. 1st Gen manual V6s came with the Getrag 221. All second gens came with the automatic 5R55S.

My closest understanding of your misunderstanding is that the Jaguar S-type R came with a unique ZF 6-speed.

Or, you want to put the Gen 1 5-speed manual in your V8. My advice is: don't. You will need a custom adapter plate since the V6 and V8 have different bolt patterns, custom routing and mounting of all clutch accessories, and, most importantly, the V8 will simply grenade the transmission. The 221 was borderline incompetent for the V6's power.

You really want a manual? Get a few thousand dollars and throw it at a trans from a 2005-2009 Mustang

You are 100% correct
So I am going to ship the car to Bulgaria where I live & labor is cheap
along with a rT56 I have the double OD will be nice
