manual ----> automatic?
Is it possible to switch my truck over to automatic? I personally love driving a stick, but my wife can't do it. She can drive it if life depends on it, but we've had the Ranger for over two years and she's only ever driven it a few times. She just isn't comfortable driving it being manual. And I'm tired of hearing about it! haha. Buying a new vehical/trading my current Ranger is out of the question.
My friend and I will do all the work ourselves in his dads shop, so all I need to know is it possible? If so, what parts are needed? How can I switch my truck to automatic!
Thanks a bunch.
My truck is a 1999 Sport, 3.0, 4x4, standard cab, manual tranny. All stock and original.

I have done the conversion and here a list of the major stuff that you would need.
If possible, pull everything from the same donor - to avoid hassles, choose a donor with the same year, engine displacement and drive (2WD or 4WD) as your truck.
- Transmission with the correct bell housing for your engine and the correct tailhousing and output shaft (2WD or 4WD). It also needs to be from a compatible year since the PCM controls both the engine and trans.
- Torque converter and flex plate
- Engine/trans wiring harness
- Automatic PCM from the same year
- Transmission tunnel floor plate
- Shift cable
- Complete automatic steering column or all the parts to convert your manual column to automatic - shifter, shifter lock parts, plastic trim, etc.
- PRND21 indicator for cluster.
- Automatic pedal and pivot (or just saw the clutch pedal off the manual pivot)
- Clutch Pedal Position Switch jumper
- Possible wiring changes in the dash harness for the O/D OFF light and the O/D cancel switch.
- Possible starter.
