Anybody had experience with swapping a manual transmission for an auto in a 750 HP turb (1989).

That had better be one tough trannie to hook up to a 740hp engine..
Actually, I was wondering myself the same question, having just bought
a "new" 1989 780.
It's a great car, but I'd love to have a 5 speed in it.
Don't know if I need all of 750 hp., though.
Better have a big wing on the back of that one!

750 HP turb (1989).Anybody had experience with swapping a manual transmission for an auto in a
750HP? I've done manual to auto swaps before and it's not hard, but I don't
know what transmission will take that kind of power.

Ask on www.turbobricks.com forum http://forums.turbobricks.com/
Some Swedes have pushed a Volvo turbo engine to those levels and beyond. For
how long and with what tranny I don't know.

I think Jae meant 740 with High Pressure Turbo IE normal 740 Turbo. If he
meant an estate he could have said 745 not 750.
It is not worth the extra hassle such as removal of Clutch parts including
pedal and bracket, replacement of brake fluid reservoir (or plugging the
clutch master feed), plugging hole in bulkhead left by clutch master,
rejigging hole for gear lever and fitting electric components for gear
position indication and starter inhibitor/reverse light switch. Believe you
me it is a pig of a job and not worth tackling. Just part in for an auto
version of the car you now have. It is very much easier and certainly
cheaper in the long run.
Cheers, Peter.

It's really not hard to convert, I've done 3 cars now, each took just a
weekend for the swap. They were all automatic to manual conversions though.

Er, meant to say auto to manual, but either way is really about the same
job.
