Please I need an advice before i made a mistake. I have a Toyota Avensis 2007 model. Its manual transmission but i want to convert it to automatic so i want to know whether it is adviceable, the cost involved, the advantages and the disadvantages especially from people that have done it before whether in Toyota or any car model. Am just new when it comes to automobile just six months experience. I also want to change the dashboard to a new one, anyone with a price idea? Also, how do I contact Toyota company Asaba?

I ONLY SEE PEOPLE CONVERT FROM AUTO TO MANUAL.
FROM THE TALES OF AUTO TRANNY, I THINK IT IS WISE TO STICK TO YOUR MANUAL.

do the wise thing sell the manual and buy an automatic

It is possible to convert.

The question is if you are ready for the project.

Its not just about having money for parts...the technical understanding is critical.

First tell us about the car in question,...make and model and year.

Wiring , control units, vacuum lines, coolant lines etc...

Don't think of it being impossible....think of how to make it possible then weigh the cost against benefit

E be like say OP Don bellefull if you want automatic buy am no spend extra money for mechanic. Manual is better than automatic be wise

ZIMDRILL:

You deserve three chicken laps...

@Op, do what he said, sell your manual and buy auto jejely....

IF you have professional work on it, its gonna be perfect, its just changing the transmission unit, the bell housing will be affected too because the clutch will be removed, flywheel will be removed and replaced with a lighter flywheel and the coupled to a torque converter. its 100% doable but... its requires a well trained engineer to work on it, you might risk the vehicle when you dump it on the road side mechanic shop, it might get kicked and damaged the more. Also alot of new more sensors will have to come in; the neutral control switch, gear selectors and indicator.. many many bro... maybe you go sell off this manual and go buy a new auto transmission and rest the case.

Why would you want to convert from manual to auto , Is like converting from dead to living.

Stick with your manual or jus buy an auto car, cos its not practical.

If you were my brother, I would slap you across the face continuously until your "ECU" did a hard reset. Get your head together, and shelve this crazy dream, either keep the car as it is, or sell it in favour of an automatic model.

Bruv! You're wicked!!! I'm still laughing!!!

Thank God you didn't.I wanted to embark on same project until i saw the advice on your post.

Nice one. Me too. Now I know better. Its a bad idea. I'll just sell my manual, save up more money and change to auto. (y)

Hi everyone! Please can anyone tell me if it's possible to change an automatic drive Camry '96 to manual gear easily and successfully? How much can it cost. Thanks

Here we go again.

Bro don't do it. If you must, don't do it in Nigeria. Ship it out to Toyota head office in Japan and have it done there or you will cry hot tears.

On a more serious note, the cost of doing it is enough to add money join and buy another car.
Also there is a 90% chance that it won't work and reserving back will be almost impossible so its not worth the risk. Best thing to do is sell the manual, add that money you want to use for converting it and buy an automatic.

I should say that what you want to do is realistically possible but not in Nigeria (dollars wise and skills wise)

Gazzuzz did same on his avensis years ago... rocked da car... dunno if he still has it but it was one hell of a rugged horse to da chap

There is nothing wrong with the project, it easy and possible. ,come to Zuba Abuja people are converting manual cars to automatic and no issues.
