Changeing Manual to Automatic

What needs to be done to change my manual 1988 Mazda b2200, To an Automatic. Also if anyone has done this, HOw hard? What all parts? Can any other transmission from another vechile work?

just wondering. why would u wanna change from manual to auto. usually its the other way around. but anyways to answer your question cause actually im changing my auto to manual at the moment. so all u would need is a flexplate,auto tranny, shifter & cables and other then that i dont see what else u would need. computer should be the same. and im pretty sure just b2200 and b2000 tranny will fit

you need a tranny mount and a drive shaft aswell

truck is body dropped daily, I would rather have an auto

im pretty sure u can use the original drive shaft, and maybe even the tranny mount. but the main things are whati mentioned before

alright cool, THanks, Anyone else have an opinion, How hard would the change be?

what do I do about the clutch safety switch thing. Will all that come out and allow the engine to start. I remember one of my friends had an auto s10 that still had the clutch you had to press to start.

the transmissions are different lengths, i had a mazda xcab that was bagged with a manuel trans, and with the lowering I needed a shorter driveshaft and found the trans from a automatic was a couple of inches shorter, fixed the problem of blowing out the rear seal on the tranny

i switched mine to a auto and i found that the cross member the trans mount the hole that the shifter comes through the raditor and the drive shaft are different but its not as bad as it sounds and well worth it in a bd truck im switching to a v8 real soon if you need any parts give me a yell

Im trying to get a list for everything I will need so I can start shopping for the parts.
