Project: Auto FWD
After Three differnt trips to the track this summer with shifting problems, and never getting a clean pass I've decided to jump on the auto bandwagon. Aaron set me up with 99% of the parts I need for the swap so progress has already started. So far I have the clutch/ brake pedal assembly swaped out with the auto pedal. And I have the auto shifter and cable installed. I still have to add the TCU harness to my wireing harness, and get everything bolted up under the hood. I feel like Im making good progress so far considering I still have the rest of winter to collect parts and finish the swap. My goal will be to have the car back together to make some shakedown passes at opening day at Grove Creek 1/8th mile in the spring.
I plan on running
-reprogramed TCU with full line pressure and shift points
-restalled stock converter (I'd like to find somewhere local to do the restall if anyone knows a good shop)
-Kiggley or IPT end clutch
-I'll be putting my LSD insert diff from my 5-speed in the auto
-26x10.5x15 slicks ( these will be the last think puchased if I can find the money If not I'll be running my Hooser DR's or 24X9X15" slicks)
IF any Auto guru's see anything missing let me know I'm trying to keep this as cheap as possably so any info on doing things right the first time would be great.
