freckle Member 4 Member For: 14y 11m 10d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 13/08/13 11:59 AM Share Posted 13/08/13 11:59 AM (edited) Hey fella'sI know im going to get a lot of slack over this so ill answer the questions before I ask my own.No I dont want to sell my ute and buy an automaticYes I know I know it will be a big jobNo I dont want to put a C4 etc into itIm looking for someone with an auto turbo ute that would be interested in doing a gearbox swap with me. finding out how much it will cost to be done, getting both of us in the same shop and swapping, tailshafts, gearboxes, crossmembers etc...I brought the ute new and wanted a manual a few years ago. now im not the only person who drives the ute and I want to start making some more power.If I go making too much more power (its just been tuned for BP98) then it will be a little hard for my Mrs to drive. with an auto I can have my ute how I want and she can still drive it and feel comfortable in it.if anyone is keen on looking into it with me give me a yell.Dave Edited 13/08/13 12:00 PM by freckle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireside Member 45 Member For: 11y 4m 22d Posted 14/08/13 03:25 AM Share Posted 14/08/13 03:25 AM Given the expense and scope of what you have planned, I thought I would mention a couple of cheap easy solutions that sprung to mind.. *velcro a block of wood under the accelerator pedal so the missus only has 40% throttle or*Get your tuner to give you a few tunes to play with. I've got a full power tune and a stock boost tune in the Xcal3. I asked for it just in case I found myself lending the car to a mate or relative.Anyway, if you press on with the auto swap, good luck with it all.. If I had an auto and was interested I would want to know what box you were offering (5 or 6spd) age, k's and clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
