Any one done a T5 to auto swap? How difficult is it? I haven't deceided if i will goto a TH350 or 700R4 yet. I can get a 350 for free so i may end up with it. I know i'll need the torque arm adapter, trans cooler and a longer driveshaft. Do i need to replace the stick console with an auto one or just the plate around the shifter?

For the trans cooler, its not recommended to run rubber lines right? I'll have to bend hard line to the cooler or see if i can get some from the wreckers.

Any thing else you can recommend?

Thanks

No need to change the DS if you go 700R4.

You'll need a different tranny xmember regardless of which you go with, as well as exhaust hanger and torque arm mount.
