Yes, to convert from auto to manual, you will need the manual hubs and the conversion kit.

When was the last time the bearings and the hub internals were greased and lubed?
For some reason I have been running into a lot of people almost running their front
bearings dry!! Yes you need to actually grease them puppies it's not like the rear end
getting lube all the time!! I would try some light oil on the hubs if they are dry in there
and as soon as possible take it apart and grease them puppies. I prefer manuals but a
properly lubed and maintained auto system can work for a long time!!
