BC_99 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I dont think thats gonna work. tranny tunnel on a manual car is to small for the auto tranny. the rest of the difficulties: Wiring, tranny mount, tranny cooler and lines, pedals, ect. are all do-able, but very time consuming and involved. Not a good idea for a novice mechanic. I will add a link to do the reverse of what you are talking about, so you have an idea what all is involved.http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=57557 You may just consider trying to trade for an auto car or stay with the 5 speed. Also you should add your location to your profile so folks that are near you may be able to chime in and help you out. BC_99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 He's right. Your not going to shove a automatic into a 5-speed car, wont fit period. Two different tranny tunnels were used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
