Has anyone replaced a manual transmission with an automatic one on a 1999
Also, what about price?
Thanks.

Ouch an almost 5k lb vehicle with 4 cylinder and automatic! Don't do it. To go from std to auto is a royal pain with lots of wiring to swap out. Absolutely not worth it.
It would probably be easier/more convenient to sell that one (they're quite desirable, the 5spd 3rd gens, apparently, since my dealer calls us at least once a year saying they've got a customer begging for one) and buy another with the automatic transmission. I can't see why anyone would NOT like the
5spd 4cyl set-up, I'm absolutely nuts about mine.
You will need to swap more than the transmission: the ECU, some wiring, and of course the transfer case, propellor shaft, etc.
Not really advisable; better option would be to sell/trade for the configuration you want. And do be aware that the 4cyl/auto combination is the least powerful.
lycka till! GTr
