so currently I want to make my 95 gsx into a automatic. Is a conversation kit for it and is it hard at all?

*cringe*I want to make my 95 gsx into a automatic
theres literally no cutting involved. tbh most people that are trying to make power on a budget are going to the auto because they hold better than the 5spd in stock form.There should be plenty of sets out there as people upgrade their automatics to 5 speed, but with how cheap these cars are these days, why not just buy an automatic GSX instead of cutting up a perfectly good manual one?
seeing as you have a 420a i can see why you wouldnt understand why this is a smart move.*cringe*
I don't car what car it is. I don't care what engine. I don't care what day.seeing as you have a 420a i can see why you wouldnt understand why this is a smart move.

I will always drive a stick.
I honestly know nothing about the GSX manual trans.After a couple few thousands dollars tranny repairs you may have a different opinion on this.
I honestly know nothing about the GSX manual trans.
But I can say that every manual I've driven was completely bullet proof. And the only error it has is user error.
Autos on the other hand always seem to have their own set of problems. And they also cant seem to hold the gear for nearly as long...
But hey I guess if you can find a well built auto, then go right ahead. But your still gonna be out a couple thousand bucks
if i was build a more mild setup and doing autox or doing 1/2 mile or 1 mile events then yea id go for a the 5spd. but i drag race and im doing the car on somewhat of a budget so the auto makes more sense for me. after i broke the shep in my car i was done i didnt want to spend almost $10k to get a trans that would last.There has always been an argument:
"Which is better? Manual or auto?"
But this will always be argued, but never be determined. That's because THEY ARE DIFFERENT FOR EVERY SINGLE CAR.
Maybe you're right. You've been down roads I haven't so I'll listen to you. But in other cases I will choose the manual.
this!!! exactly this from a budget racer perspective it really is a no brainer for the auto. after breaking three 5spds in my car turned down i had enough.Unless you can afford to go dogbox, it's literally a no-brainer when you start shooting above 550-600whp it seems.
I'll miss the manual life, but I won't miss running 11's at almost 140 because the trans won't shift.
I would expect there isn’t a auto in my area they are all manuals.

What auto transmission should I look for?as far as the swap its pretty simple. i auto swapped my 1g with ease. basic stuff youll need to aquire will be:
auto trans
engine/ trans mounts
flexplate
converter
halfshaft
rear diff
shifter
shifter cable
wiring harness
tcu
you can substitute buying/ loacting a harness and tcu by wiring in a shift box from forced four.
id look for a 2g trans with a matching t case. i dont believe year matters as long as the t case year matches the trans year.What auto transmission should I look for?
