Can a Manual Transmission Converted to Automatic Pass Annual Inspection?

[DiJames]

Converting a manual transmission to automatic cannot pass annual inspection as it constitutes illegal vehicle modification. Modification Requirements: When modifying vehicle colors, three colors are reserved for special-purpose vehicles and cannot be used: red for firefighting, yellow for engineering rescue, and white-over-blue for national administrative law enforcement. Modifications to the body, frame, or engine are only permitted if the original components are irreparably damaged or have quality defects. For such modifications, documentation from a repair shop and proof of origin for the replacement engine, body, or frame must be submitted. Modification Regulations: Widening tires or modifying the intake and exhaust systems are prohibited. According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" by the Ministry of Public Security, altering tire specifications, intake systems, or exhaust systems on in-use vehicles are not permitted modifications. Such changes may affect engine power and compromise driving safety.
