Automatic 4A-GZE, And the bashing begins... Options

[JoKeRkId613]

I will be swapping an AE101 4A-GZE into my ST during the summer. Like the topic says... Was there ever a 4A-GZE with an automatic transmission??? Why? You may be asking. Because I love automatic because it's less of a hassle for me than manual here in Miami. Yes, I have driven manual before. I lived in Colombia for a while back and there's mountains over there. All they drive are stick shift Japanese cars. Mostly Toyotas and Mazdas. But anyway, I do think manual is more entertaining, you have more control of the engine and all that. When I drive my Celica now, I treat it as if it were stick shift when I want/need to. So besides the bashing, and s h i t talking about automatic being for p u s s i e s, etc. Was a 4A-GZE released with an automatic transmission at any point in time? And if so, what's the best place to find one? I doubt the 7A tranny bolts up to the GZE and if it does, it probably wont last long. Thanks.

Do the manual swap, and here's why:

As it is you're already swapping the engine and tranny. So the ONLY thing you need to do is buy the clutch pedal, master cylinder, lines, shifter assembly, shifter cables, and brake pedal (or cut your stock one down). It's all easy to get to because the engine and tranny are gone. It costs an extra $400 INDLUDING labor for an auto/manual conversion at my shop when it's done *with* an engine swap.

Doing it by itself (keeping your stock engine) would be around $800 and less worth it.

If you're stuck on an auto, then you can get the 4AGE 20v Silvertop with auto.
