Alryt People, listen am planning on converting my 4 speed auto transmission, to either a 5 or 6 speed auto. can any one give me advice on this? lyk cost or where the best place to go is? and also if any one has done this?

 

thats easy READ MY SIG !

 

where would i find that?sorry am new to this web site.

 

u want a 5 or 6 speed AUTO?

If you have an sc400 you can try to get ahold of a 98-00 sc400, the 98-00 sc400's have a 5spd automatic.

 

no i dont i got the 1997 2.5GT. it comes with 4 speed auto.and i want to convert it to either a 5 or 6speed auto... any ideas?

 

I am all about doing the newest, coolest thing... but I think what you want may be extremely difficult...

you'll need a newer trans, and, looking at the wiring diagram, potentially a newer PCM/ECU that works both with your current engine and also a newer trans, not to mention somehow re-wiring your trans shift selector to include an extra gear...

can it be done - sure... should it be done - why not... will it be hard - extremely... especially being that I've never even heard of anyone wanting to do this swap, so I would be willing to bet that me looking at wiring diagrams is the most thought put into it ever...

any particular reason you want a 5 speed auto trans? straight line racing, even a 3 speed works just fine, and you definitely don't want an auto for road course stuff... just get a higher stall converter - and you will be in the power band all the time

 

Are you serious? You want an auto when there is both a 5 spd manual and a 6 spd manual that bolt directly to your car????

 

unless road racing, i prefer a nice auto trans with a stall...

better for drag racing, better for cruising...

 

Just can't do it-- I want the car to do exactly what I want when I want it to--

Automatic transmissions take the purity out of a sports car-- (This is probably why MOST real sports cars and exotics are standard equipped with a manual transmission)

 

possibly...

have you ever driven a built auto trans with a shift kit and a good sized stall...

if not, please find someones car to borrow that has this, as it will open your eyes to a whole different outlook on auto trans cars...

with it done properly, it will be like a whole different car...

 

lol ok kool kool i see where ya all cuming from...maybe not such a good idea. so its actualy easier to switch it from auto to a manual 5 or 6 speed? i thought that would of been more expensive? how much ya think it would cost to get it to a manual 5 or 6 speed? also how long would i take ya think?oooo and wheres the best place to get the parts for this converstion?
