Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Manual to Auto

[TJSHOTROD]

I was wondering who has done a stick to auto swap. My ? is,was it worth it and would you do it again. Also how much cash did you end up spending if you don't mind me asking. I guess I should also say the only reason I want to swap is for drag racing. Thanks in advance.

It was be simpler and probably just as cheep to trade trucks.

I have alot off money tied up in the lift and it can't be put back to stock or I might of consider that.

It shouldn't cost you much at all.

I wouldn't think it would cost you much at all. . Most people want to convert from an auto to a manual transmission and would be willing to swap. I know of somebody now that has a DTT set up that might be interested in converting.

Johnrv4 I might be intrested in a swap with someone if we could figure out a way to the keep down time low.

I'll email this thread to my buddy and see what he thinks

I'll send this thread to my buddy and see what his response is. His truck is also a shortbox, so I think most everything would be a bolt-in swap.
