How much does it cost to change stick shift to automatic?

I am just wondering how much would it cost to switch from a stick to an automatic?

The car is a jeep wrangler and could you tell me for a regular car too.How much does it cost to change stick shift to automatic?depends on year/model/make.. newer cars would take alot more since they tend to be over computerized for EVERYTHING and if your willing to tackle the job yourself.. lets take my car for example 1984 Chevy Citation X-11 that I pulled out the 2.8 HO carbed engine and dropped a 3800 series 1 from a 92 regal in.. It was originally manual but the 3800 never had a manual tranny and custom fab was more than I cared to do.. so I converted it to Automatic.. my list of parts were.

1. Automatic transmission *duh lol*

2. Brake pedal since you need to put the larger pedal in

3. automatic floor shifter

4. automatic shift cables

5. possible computer change, I didnt have to cuz the wiring set up I used was already set up for auto.. but youll run into wiring issues as well.. auto trans have park/nuetral safety switch as well as on some models a TCC *torque clutch converter* also the gear switches.. like I said it all depends on year and what not.. if its older like early 80's or before then you shouldnt have to much trouble but if you start creeping into the mid 80's and up it gets a bit more complicated

Good luck with it.. hope this helpsHow much does it cost to change stick shift to automatic?it takes around 3000 my dad's an insurance adjuster

Who would change a stick shift for a slush boxHow much does it cost to change stick shift to automatic?Yer talkin' a goodly bit o' bread to do that.



Lessee. Transmission has to be changed for openers (Assuming you are using the same auto trans which would be used in an automatic Jeep.) Torque converter/flywheel/trans input shaft adapter if needed/shift likage/shifter and trans oil check/fill tube.

Then ya gotta either change out your radiator for the one that

has a trans oil cooler built into it or add an external trans oil cooler in front of your existing radiator and run the lines from the trans to the cooler.

Depending on what year Jeep you have-you may also need to install the transmission control computer (if it is supposed to have one) or change to a different ECM if the engine and trans use the same unit to control both.



Either way-I think it'd just be cheaper to either replace yer clutch or learn to live with the manual trans.How much does it cost to change stick shift to automatic?Just trade it in for what you want. It would probably cost more than the car.
