I have a 03Z what all is involved in converting it to an auto?

There's already a thread on this... But there's a lot involved.

It requires dropping the torque tube, replacing the trans, needs a flex-plate and converter, I believe there's a different drive shaft. You'll need to change the peddle assembly, and shifter assembly. You'll need a different tune that tells the computer you have an auto. I'm sure there's other things I'm forgetting right now, but in general people pay about $7K for a shop to do the conversion I believe.

I would do the work myself. I knew the pedals, tune, trans obviously. mainly I ment weather it needed a different wiring harness and the Torque tube and such
Thanks, Jason

I am sure people would suggest this but would be easier of getting a C5 Platform i do believe..

Yes, it requires a different wiring harness and an adapting harness from RPM to use it along with a new torque tube.

RPM Transmissions has a lot of experience in this conversion, give them a call.

I've gone both ways. I don't know what kind of power you plan on putting down, so depending on that can change the price and configurations.

Basically you need.

Pedal Assy
Bell Housing
Flex Plate & Spline Lock
Torque Tube
Shifter & Ignition and tranny shifter cables
Adapter Plate (between Transmission & Differential)
Transmission
Torque Converter of your choice
Tranny Harness from an automatic of similar year
Engine / PCM Harness for Tranny from RPM.

You'll need to re-pin some of the PCM wires and add new harness to control transmission. Mechanically speaking it's not to much different from changing out a clutch.

Most of the work is in the wiring and reflashing of the PCM.
