Default JK 6sp to auto swap. Wiring?

This will be interesting. I've seen a few people swap in a stock JK auto trans. It was quite the mess. Took a few months messing with the computer and eventually it worked. Swapping in a none JK trans? I can't see how that would ever be able to work with the JK computer. Those that swap to the stock auto have the computer flashed to an auto, but that is not an option for you (unless they are building a beefed up JK Auto with the same gear ratios). Best bet is to junk the electronics.

Here's a good thread on it to read. I think it will give you the info you need or lead you to a place or person who can. I think somewhere in it is even a list of all the parts you need. It's a lot...
