I probably will leave it stick if I keep it to drive. But was curious how hard it would be to swap to auto in case I decide to let my other daughter have it.

What about electronics etc for the auto tranny if I put it in place of a manual?

you just have to run the auto trans solnoid to the ecu. just 2 wires.. it will already have the plug on the harness but on the manual trans its the reverse light.
i could walk you through the swap if needed

pm me and let me know what all you have and what you want for it. I'm about to do CV shafts on it so maybe I would be better waiting if I could pick up everything for a auto swap.

oh ok cool. I'm probably gonna get the CV shafts done tommorow. I have a mechanic that will do parts, labor and all with new shafts (not reman) for $300 for both sides.

well reman's are 65$ each with giving your old ones. and new ones are usually around 100$ each. that sound like a decent price.
















and the auto flywheel.

and when you pull the manual stuff out save it. you can sell it as a complete manual swap for around 200$ or more.
