Automatic to 5-speed conversion 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be Ray N on  Fri Nov 8 05:02 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Do you mean convert to the 5 speed automatic or the 5 speed manual?
"5 speed" often means manual transmission but that is a bit cloudy
since automatics now often have 5 speeds (I think 99 and up 5 cylinder
engines come with a 5 speed Asian Warner automatic).

I would think you would still have some issues with the 5 speed automatic
since you would also need the new computer module that controls it.
The electronics seem to be as big an issue as the mechanics with modern
conversion projects. But, it would be more likely to swap in and have
plug and play electronics then a manual.
