Hi all
Currently have a 5.0 5 speed AU2 ute. Toying with the idea of converting it to an auto , mainly so I can go and have a bit more fun with it at the drags without punishing a manual box. Ive done plenty of auto to manual conversions before and am very handy on the spanners but its the electrical side of things Im not sure of here. I understand I will need an auto ECU but what other wiring in the dash , ECU to box etc will I be needing to get it up and running? I know that transmission control is in the ECU unlike the E series V8's. Any pointers appreciated. Cheers |

There's a small section of loom that goes from the engine bay wiring back to the auto box, that's about it. Manual is a bit more complicated because it has the wiring going from the engine bay, through the right quarter panel all the way to the footwell for the clutch sensor etc

Put a C4 in it & forget about the BTR 4 speed.

Auto's are less fun everywhere except 2 hours of bumper to bumper traffic. As for punishment, the drag strip punishes everything, including automatic transmissions. There's plenty of people here who have run very good numbers for a long time with a manual. All you may need is a beefier clutch. Quote:
