Parts needed for a manual to automatic swap
I am about to do a swap from my WC T-5 to a 700R4. I was wanting to get everyone’s ideas on what will be needed. So far my list includes...
-Transmission
-Torque converter
-lockup wiring and controller (Can I use the PCM from the auto car?)
-flex plate
-starter
-cross member
-TV cable and mounting brackets
-cooler lines (Can I use an aftermarket cooler instead of going through the radiator?)
-center console and shifter
-driveshaft? (I believe that the T-5 and 700R4 use the same one but...)
-VSS (Same as T-5?)
Let me know if I am missing anything and what you think. The reason I am going this way is for racing. I love driving the stick on the street but I suck at the track. Not the trans's fault but I would rather just hit the gas and concentrate on driving rather than shifting. Plus a trans brake would really kick ***! Right now the only thing kicking *** is my car and unfortunately the *** it’s kicking is mine with these pathetic 60' times!
Also, I have found a few others looking to do the same thing so you would be helping not just me but a community of your brethren.
