Looking at a Wb model festiva with a 5 speed manual in it, wife cant drive manual so what would the chances of a auto box being found or someone on here wanting to exchange their auto for a manual.

Teach her to drive manual

Nah how come you don't just look for an auto one? Don't know your chances of finding someone willing on here. What year is the car you're looking at?

When getting mine (99 mod), I was told the 1.3 was a 3spd and the 1.5 was a 4spd.

Would be heaps easier just getting an auto. Then again, the mazda 'bubble' 121 is meant to be identical under the skin, they also came in a 1.3 and 1.5 so that could be another option for sourcing a transplant box.
