Hiya guys,

Just wanting to know if it is easy enough to change a 3sp auto to a 4sp auto for an EA. If so, does it need to be a specific 4sp or any 4sp from an E-series car?

Now i dont want any crap posts about change to a manual or get a car with a manual in it. I just a simple answer of whether or not it can be done.

Thankyou

you will just need a ecu adn shifter out of a 4 speed should bolt right in with no probs. strength aint an issue as the 4 speeds are pretty tough as well
