I think the question was more along the lines of inquiring the point of gutting a car to swap transmissions instead of selling the stick and buying an auto...
It's easier and cheaper than trading in the car. I like my time and my money..
New transmission
Its not silly even in the least bit. Cheaper/the same as going T6060 and any one going for high HP applications must get rid of the MT82 at some point. Auto's hold significantly more than the MT82 and for drag racers you gain efficiency in shifting and faster times. There are numerous guys on here doing it.... What is silly about that?
This.
Still valid, will take less time and less money to do the swap on my car versus return my car to stock, sell my car, buy another car and swap all parts back in.
I always just keep aftermarket parts married to the vehicle they are put onto. Between trying to store old parts, and doing R&R, it saves a lot of time (and time is money, too) to just throw away the OE and buy new parts when I switch vehicles.
Oh, so now you recommend I leave the roughly 20k in mods on the car, sell it, buy a different car, re-buy all the mods and install them onto the new automatic car?
What makes the A10 so superior to a 6r80?
Come on..the A10 will destroy all!! DESTROYYYYYYYYYYY!
When you leave information of that much significance out of the early part of the discussion, don't be surprised when the replies treat your mods like they were only simple entry-level bolt-ons - cold air, lowering springs, etc. Things that can easily be reversed or parted with without much regret.
