A while back there was some talk of swapping out a MT82 for a Auto. I was thinking about this not for reasons on a bad MT82 but my Bad knees and shifting is becoming difficult at times do to my physical conditions. I love my car and dont want to take the 5 to 10 K hit on trading it in for something not as nice looking (to me) as the Brembo car i have now. That said here goes my question.
I have found several 6R80 Auto transmissions at auto recyclers and salvage yards. What would be needed to put this into my car and make it work with the ECU or PCM that is in the car now being it is a brembo manual car. I think i understand the 6R80 has the controls onboard the tranny does my car have to be wired for this trans or are the plugs there to plug in the trans and shifter. Or has anyone done a Manual to Auto conversion for the street that could be lived with as a daily/weekly driver?
all ideas welcome and again i dont want to trade this car in and take that hit i would rather build something i truly can enjoy driving and looking at while driving. as i have been looking as GT auto but no 401a brembo options and i looked at a Chally but cant in my mind afford it as i want one..
Thanks
