Subject: 88GL Tranny Swap - from manual to automatic
 

It appears there is among Vanagonauts who drive manual tranny vans a
"Bad Clutch Leg Syndrome" whereby switching to an automatic becomes
necessary. I am one.

How hard could it be to make the swap? Anyone done it before? Problems?
Can the same engine be used? What mods are necessary? I know the axles
must be changed = but what else? And� how difficult?

Thanks.

John
