Does anyone know if the cts-v came in a automatic? If so what years?

First gen V's ('04-'07) only came in manual, and no, no one has retrofit an auto b/c they wouldn't fit.

2nd Gen ('09+) have the option...

Sorry for bringing up an older thread, I'm still learning about these cars. 08' Yes/No on the Auto? It's a 2nd Gen, but you put 09'+

Thx
Chris

That's because I don't think they ever made an '08 V.

Sure they fit. Contact RPM Transmissions. The car needs to be an 06-07. Then you need to get the controller from John @ Speartech. They will do the swap and provide the trans. They told me that I cannot supply my own trans fro the swap.

No cutting necessary. There is a special tool made for that particular installation.

I thought that was a ford tool, not caddy.

RPM will put an auto into anything that GM makes.

I'm having 07 z06 and putting an auto into it.

RPM and IPS Motorsports converted my 07 Z over to an automatic too. Best money I've ever spent!

Did you call RPM? I talked to them about a year and a half ago when I was going to buy a V so I don't rememebr the whole conversation. But they said they can do it and quoted a price. That's why in my post I said only an 06-07. I did not just make up the info.
