#1) Need a good used Automatic tranny and flex plate w/ 5 special four
tri-square mounting bolts.
#2) Need two drive axles, your CVs will fit them. Automatics have
different length axles, standard both are same length.
#3) Need the linkage from tranny to selector box on front floor.
#4) Need inside gear selector cover and wiring harness for neutral safety
switch and selector light.
#5) Might need a different starter ........... I'm thinking it does.
#6) Find a buyer for your manual tranny, should bring at least $500.00 in
good condition, if your flywheel, clutch, cover plate, master cylinder
and clutch slave are good then possibly more.
#7) I noticed some difference in the throttle body on the engine, might
be for a pasing gear or such.
