    I know if you are going auto - auto you will need to change your trans. I was looking at a wagon with column shift at pick a part and the trans selector was a bit different on the box and the trans had a different code on the bell housing too.

    Don't they just use a cable to the box? Surely you could attach this to the floor shift centre console. Although the selections may be in different places.

    now im no genious with auto boxes, however...
    would you need to change it to a 2 seater? or is that just a want to do thing?
    otherwise could the gear selector not be put in the same spot on the floor as where the manual gearstick gets put?
    how about we make the pedals out of sticky rubber and the shoes with steel spikes. at least my shins would like that
