autostick

Part....singular??

Lots and lots of parts.

Tranny (good one) Drive plate Pedal cluster Shift rod AND shift lever Control solenoid Special oil pump Special vacuum tank and fluid tank

For starters, buy the Bentley Official Manual for a good look.

If you gotta have autostick, I think I'd buy a whole car with it.

Are you sure you don't mean that the other way around? Why in God's name would you WANT to change a 4 speed to an auto?! That being said, it is markedly simpler to make the change FROM auto TO 4 speed. But suit yourself...

..............There are some people who simply don't like manual transmissions for reasons that are their own business. Others have some type of disability that makes it difficult or even impossible to work a clutch pedal. My wife had surgery on her left ankle several years ago and is now barely capable of pushing a pedal with that foot. If someone WANTS to avoid using a std. tranny, I feel that it's none of our business as to why. I did once drive a friend's auto-stick more than 20 years ago and after I got used to it, it was kind of nice. I do agree though that it would far more practical to buy an auto-stick bug than to go through the ordeal of making one from a std. tranny bug.

That's what I had done...changed the auto to a four speed. Though the auto stick was a funky thing and people didn't believe that you had an auto transmission with a shifter and I had to show them. Still, I like the control a manual transmission gives better and it isn't rocket science to learn how to drive a stick.

Tell you what. Drive yourself (and a trailer) on down to Dallas, Texas and I'll sell you one...or three complete autosticks. That way you would make sure you have all the parts you will need, and lots of spare parts as well!:~)
