Paddle Shift Conversion- Is it possible?
I'm looking to convert my auto transmission on my '98 LS to a paddle-shift/semi-auto shift.
1.) Is it possible?
2.) If so, how extensive is the labor?
Thanks!

1-depending on your definition of possible, yes*
2-ridiculous amounts of money.
*if you dream, anything is possible.
seriously, it's not just labor, it's an extensive amount of reverse engineering (electrically) and then making a module to let you do that from the ground up. for all practical purposes, you can't convert your car easily.

That's all there is to it. Total custom job (read expensive and don't expect your car back any time soon).
There's always the more realistic option of converting to manual transmission. At least with this option the car loses less torque through the drive line.
