Seriously considering an M6 to Auto conversion.

Has anyone ever done this? I know it will run me around 4k, but I already have over 10 in my new LSX motor, and the not needing to manually shift would be kinda nice.

The stock Camaro A6 would probably be a tough swap. I believe there are some stand alone controllers that can make it work. The 4L80E swap would be much easier and several of us have done that. It will cost a lot more than $4000. I am about $3000 out of pocket AFTER selling my M6, Mantic Clutch and building the trans myself.

Thats like all the ass hats saying "Should have bought a V8"

Sometimes its not in the cards. Sometimes you cant afford it (the V8). Sometimes you want the manual.

Yeah, well, we have what we have.
