manual to automatic.

mxer755 · 05-29-2008, 07:44 PM

alrite so im a noob, and i just had a question. i have been looking for s10s already bagged due to the nature of me not knowing how to do the work and not having the time even though i would like to be a part of building it. i am paralyzed from the waist down from a motocross accident a 2 years ago and so i need an automatic tranny. If i find a truck that i like that is a 5 speed is it possible to do a manual to automatic install? and how hard would it be? etc. thanks.

a baby 700 would be a good swap, all you need is a tv cable, and a lock-up controller.
