Conversion manual to auto????

[Steve Tyter Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Steve Tyter]

Just a hypothetical question, but, is it possible to convert my 2001 prado 3.0 turbo from a manual to auto????? Or would it be cheaper to trade the old girl in on an auto model? The motor is still strong & she has been very reliable. She has taken us just about everywhere & has never let us down once, apart from a few minor issues. I have to consider doing something soon as my left leg is buggered & the missus can only drive an auto. She finds the gear changes confusing.

Agree with Wooley, cheaper and easier to sell and buy an auto. With any conversion, there's always something unforeseen to blow out the budget.

If you can find one, but yes easier and cheaper to do.
This is because you need to change the peddle rack, the cross member, change the computer, ect, and the list goes on.

Thanks fellas. It was a passing thought. Looks like I will have to do some serious saving for a while. Looking at upgrading to a 120 in an auto a little way down the track. Will feel sorry letting the old girl go.
