We have a gent with an 03 Rubicon manual. He wants to swap to an auto. Need both to be here side by side and move parts back and forth to complete both swaps. Each is responsible for misc. parts and expenses.
Throw it on a truck. I'll give you my labor. You just have to pay my helper. Cover the parts and we're good. Be aware that the whole dash has to come out so if you have any bullshit wired into the knee bolster etc. that isn't on a plug, pull it before you ship it. I'd recommend a new clutch, pressure plate, TOB, and pilot bearing while we have it all apart. Looking at about a Dec/Jan time frame as the earliest we could get to it.
When I looked at a really nice LJR with an auto I wondered about doing this but thought it would be ridiculously expensive. I have the same year TJ as the LJR but with the 6 speed. I passed on the LJR only because of the auto.
