Hi House,

Please have you or know anyone who converted Toyota corrolla 2005 from manual to automatic? What was the outcome?

I have considered the cost and I’m ok, it’s still cheaper than selling the manual and buying auto.

Regards

Thanks to God you eventually got a cheap solution. Electrical issues in vehicle isn't easy to manage.

Electrical issue can be frustrating

You for sure need to change the ECU. I’m actually surprised that the car worked at all.

Works very well

Experience has taught me that most mechanics are not after service delivery in this part of the world. They last thing I will be talked into is getting a converted car. Being a gearhead, I spend an average of 30 minutes daily reading about autos. Mechanics in the USA do all manners of car conversion, car restoration, etc. They major difference between them and us is that most of them are given to excellence, they have access to good parts. You see car enthusiasts buying a car and putting it in amazing form over a period of 1 year. No hurry, no pressure whatsoever.

A friend of mine got a converted vehicle. Je asked for the mechanic's opinion, he said he should go ahead. He told him what he would need to fix the car. He asked for my opinion, I told him not to buy it. He bought it, paid the mechanic, but he never drove that car without an issue for one month. In 2years, he could not boast of enjoying the car for 3 months. He later sold it as scrap.

The last thing I want is to be driven by a car. I will never buy any modified vehicle here. I hate stories that touch the heart.
the last part of your post made me laugh.

Something tells me op does not have the car yet, he sees manual selling at cheaper price as compared to automatic, thereby calculating a change of transmission.

I am a sucker for manual.

There must always be one in my house, and it’s usually the most reliable knock-about car for errands,school runs and farm work. Currently it’s a Corolla 2008, and the car is the most ready-to-drive car.

That is my policy!

Not advisable. if it was from auto to manual, I would have told you to go ahead with it. I'm currently rocking my golf mk4 2005 model which I converted from auto to manual and I never had any regret doing do till date. I almost scrapped d car when the auto transmission started giving me issues,but to the glory of God I'm enjoying the ride now 100%
