hi Roger, to change the manual gearbox to an automatic one would be extreemly difficult, you would need a complete donor vehicle including the EGS control unit and the complete wiring harness and very deep pockets with unlimited funds. It would be more cost effective to buy an automatic vehicle. hope this helps. regards mark.
