There are no parts at the engines itself which could
prevent using automatic gearboxes. Winkler offers
same conversion kits for manuals or automatics. He
attaches Ford V6, Audi 5 cylinder gas and 5 or 4 cylinder
TDI engines to the automatic gearboxes. But he strongly
recommend not to exceed a 115 PS power limit for the
engine.
