Good luck with that. You're better off trading the car in on a manual.

Yeah good luck bro. Need new trans pedal assembly the entire hydraulic system, the tcm and prob the rear end. But lets be honest you want the lSD anyways lol. Lots and lots of work.

that's just the begging of what you need. It's a big swap to get this done. Is it possible? Yes. Is it a smart and cheap thing to do? No.

I love my cfd shifter. Does it make it a manual no but I am shifting with just my right hand and have full control of which gear I am in which is really handy in lots of traffic. Use it 99% of the time.
