Manual - Auto tranny swap?
Has anyone succesfully made the swap from a manual to a auto? Been considering doing it but the drivetrain guy at my local dealer swears up and down that it can't be done due the TIPM having to be swapped as well

It's been done since september 2010, but I keep getting PM's about it and I just wanted to let everyone know it's possible and easy to do. It took me about a year to get the balls to do it, then I found a smokin deal on a auto tranny, so I couldn't pass it up. Total cost was $1800. I sold the manual tranny for $600 and im still getting rid of bits and pieces here and there. Still cheaper than trading in my jeep and losing money on my long arm kit and other permanent mods.

That really isn't bad for a tranny swap. But I'm assuming that going from an auto to a manual would be much more costly. Anyone know for sure? I'd love to have a manual in my JKU
