transmission change to automatic ???

[54runner54]

I have a 91 4Runner 4x4 3.0 5spd running 33's 456 gears and lockers. I want to swap out trans to a automatic. I found a 91 4runner today in the wrecking yard with a auto trans. Any major problems in doing a swap out like this do have to change the harness. Thanks for any input, Glenn (Good or Bad)

Well, that's not the direction most people want to go. :laugh:

Most clutches last a LONG time if you know how to drive one properly.

plus it's so much easier and cheaper to replace a clutch than it is to rebuild an auto trans

well either way i am looking at a rebuild . my trans has a very hard time going into gear now as it is . i just replaced my clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder which help some but not completly . plus when i was bleeding my clutch the bracket holding the pedal cracked and i had to get that welded . i know how to drive a stick . i have had many different vehicles that were standards including a freightliner lol . also as much has i want to i will be teaching my daughter to drive in this thing and i really want it right or easier for her to learn . i want to get her going good so i can get her an extended cap 4x4 pickup (toyota) or a Z71
