My friend is wondering because he is tired if a standard. If this is even possible, does anyone know how much it would cost??

depends on the car to be honest. if we knew the year make and model we could help alot more. some of the newer vehicles the transmission has some computor sensors and can be computor controlled and if this is the case you couldnt do it right or the expense wouldnt be worth it.

In order to do so, you will need to change the transmission, take out the clutch and shifter, reprogram the computer, and thats just the tip of the iceburg. It would run you at least 4 grand for a rough job, if you are really bent on getting an auto just sell the standard.

It's a mighty pain. Swapping just the tranny you'd run into so many incompatabilities and issues. It'd be easier to swap the whole powertrain (engine, tranny, smog controls, computer, harnesses, driveshafts, yadayada) from a same-year wreck. Swap the radiator too, for the tranny cooler lines. And the pedals. And the shifter. And the dash harnesses if need be. It's endless.
No one would take on a job like that for pay because of the pitfalls. It would have to be a labor of love. Projects like that have a funny way of never getting finished.

extremely, if you're way severe on retaining the vehicle and xfering to conventional stick shift, you're perfect off checking craigslist for a vehicle like yours that has been in an coincidence or has a foul engine, yet is a stick shift... and figuring out to purchase the completed vehicle and taking the transmission out and then scrapping some thing else... you'll get $2 hundred-$three hundred for scrapping a vehicle, so even with the undeniable fact that a lot you pay for the vehicle, you may promote some thing else once you're taking out the tranny. it extremely is totally the most inexpensive thanks to bypass if you're fortunate sufficient to locate a scrapper on craigslist. Plus, you're able to have each and each and every of the elements you want for the xfer.... and a progression to bypass by to positioned all of it at the same time.

You can make that conversion but it is nearly impossible and requires alot of work. Youre better off selling the car and buying another.
