Default manual transmission

Yes, although gearing will then be a bit different. The trans from a DOHC
was meant to be a bit more performance-oriented, and the SOHC was geared for
mileage/economy. You may give up a few MPG and the motor will likely be at
a higher RPM than usual when you're at highway speed.

If you did a bit of online research, I'm sure the gear ratios for both are
listed somewhere.
