#1) Need a good used Automatic tranny and flex plate w/ 5 special four tri-square mounting bolts. #2) Need two drive axles, your CVs will fit them. Automatics have different length axles, standard both are same length. #3) Need the linkage from tranny to selector box on front floor. #4) Need inside gear selector cover and wiring harness for neutral safety switch and selector light. #5) Might need a different starter ........... I'm thinking it does. #6) Find a buyer for your manual tranny, should bring at least $500.00 in good condition, if your flywheel, clutch, cover plate, master cylinder and clutch slave are good then possibly more. #7) I noticed some difference in the throttle body on the engine, might be for a pasing gear or such.
