[b]Why didn't you buy an auto transmission in the first place? Both of them are so different in their operation that although its technically possible, its not financially feasible. You wont be able to afford it.

The auto transmission to begin with has its own "brainbox" called the transmission module. This is the one that is programmed to change the transmission on its own as you drive. On top of that, it works with the brainbox of the car itself. They are "talking" to each other. everytime you accelerate/decelerate, the petrol distribution is changing from the feedback.

On top of that is other components like transmission cooler (which is routed to the base of the radiator).

So you will need to change all necessary hardware and connections, reprogram your brainbox and other electronics components on the car. Plus you pray that it all works out. Is it possible? Yes! Can you afford it? I don't think so!

Why did i say so? I think you bought this car cos its cheap or so. But at the back of your mind you know that you really want an auto gear. Now you wanna double back to get what you really wanted without paying a lot of money. It doesn't work like that. You can't afford the conversion.

Or just sell this one, and buy an automatic gear car. I can't understand. Why you are so hell bent on an auto gear anyway? If so why buy this one in the first place?

Its like getting involved/marrying a girl and later start complaining that you don't like her height or tribe  undecided

Why? ! Why? !! why?!!!
