How to Convert a Manual Transmission to an Automatic Transmission?
1 Answers
Here is a detailed introduction on converting a manual transmission to an automatic transmission: Required parts: First, you need to procure a compatible "gearbox," which is the transmission—the core of the entire conversion and also the most expensive component. Secondly, the vehicle's computer and all wiring need to be modified or replaced to fully match the new transmission. Drawbacks of conversion: The Honda Fit is one of the more common models converted from manual to automatic, along with other economical models, primarily Japanese cars. The main reason is the easier availability of parts for Japanese vehicles. Converting from automatic to manual might not be necessary, as increased fuel consumption depends on the engine's combustion condition, fuel injector operation, and exhaust sensor performance. It is recommended that consumers conduct a comprehensive vehicle inspection before making a final decision on the conversion.
