Re: Coverting YJ fro MAnual to Automatic
Well, it's only a thought, but swapping in a factory automatic in exchange
for a factory manual doesn't seem to require a lot of fabrication, just a
major scrounge for parts and the hassle of the basically bolt-on conversion.
For me it may be just as easy to do the LT1/700r swap I've been
contemplating for years!

Re: Coverting YJ fro MAnual to Automatic
That makes more sense to me as well. I have no clue what this will cost, but
I am pretty sure you will have to do it yourself to keep the budget under
control. But if it cost X to swap in the factory equivelent, and X + another
half-X for the upgrade, then it seems to me that the upgrade would be the
way to go.
