Am I missing anything? There has to be more than just that.
tranny

You will need a tranny cooler or an automatic style radiator, a torque converter, transmission fluid lines that go to and from the tranny to the front of the car, brake lock-out switch(shifter), and you must reflash you PCM. It is best to get all the parts from the same year car as yours. The hardest part of the swap is swapping the pedals out and integrating your wiring harness with the new one. Getting the cruise control to work could be quite a task as well. Have fun!

Default swap

A number of members here swap stick to auto or auto to stick. Post in parts to see if someone has done the swap and has some parts.

You don't really need to do the Peddal swap. Most guys up here leave them in.

Im getting everything from a salvage yard. I plan on swapping complete wiring harnesses out just to make it easier. The pcm flash is no problem since I do tuning. I did completly forget about the tranny cooler. Thanks, keep all the ideas coming.

Thanks again
