Swapping transmissions just doesn't make sense in terms of hassle or economics.

Guys are usually searching for manual transmission cars because not as many were manufactured. You should have no difficulty selling it to someone who is searching for a manual. Make sure to advertise broadly since someone who really wants a manual is more likely to travel or ship the car to get what they want.

Since you want an automatic transmission which are plentiful, it provides you with the opportunity to find maybe a newer, more powerful car, with less miles and with the exact color and options that you want. Seems like a no-brainer. Good luck!

Thats all the ecu's as well as everything with the foot control removal.. even in cars without the electronics its a pain in the ass. Contact a shop that does it for the wild price itll be. Its not worth it man. Swap the car.

Get this idea out of your head ASAP. I'd estimate close to 7000usd with labour if you can't do it yourself.

plus, this is the perfect opportunity to get a LCI 2014/15+ with EWG. and if you have done any mods to the car, most parts should carry over.
