Interchange manual saturn

It is possible to bring any mechanical change to almost any car given that you have invested enough money, time, and expertise. What you have to have ready at hand is a donor car that has all the parts identical to your car except for the automatic transmission in case if it is computerized such as OBD or OBDII systems.

It does not need to be an exact match if not computerized. Well, you have already got the answer. But, how to do it? To make it simpler, what you will need to convert transmission from manual to auto are:.

It is necessary to reconfigure the entire drivetrain because the functions of an auto gearbox are completely different than a manual transmission. It makes complete sense because you are going to change the transmission type. You have to replace and modify a couple of other parts to fit the new gearbox into the car. The body and engine wire harness have to be replaced if it is not compatible and cannot transmit signals and electrical power to the new transmission.

If the shift mechanism is floor-mounted, you have to either remove the floor panel or cut a hole in the carpet. You have to do the similar things to the column for a column-mounting mechanism. You may also have to replace components like a pump, torque converter, and a few others for the accommodation and smooth functioning of the new gearbox.
