Has anyone ever had this done? My 1997 manual car is immaculate with only 31K on the clock. Looking around to replace it with a Z3 car 2000 reg 2.2 automatic, the miles quoted in ads seem to be double that. SO, is it possible to convert my manual gearshift to an automatic box? Has anyone had it done, if so what did it cost and who did it for you? Advice please? Otherwise it seems an MX-5 auto beckons.... :-(
Converting Z3 manual 1.9 to automatic? Can it be done?

Are you talking about a 2.2 engine and gearbox transplant into your car? Considered a different donor car like a 3 series 2.8 auto? Tried FABDirect?

Hi Carol
Glad to hear your still enjoying the Z. I still remember on the lakes one year, seeing you wizzing passed going the other way most of the time, such a great laugh!
I doubt it would be cheap to do or very easy so I'd recommend looking for a low mileage auto car in the small ads and put yours up for sale. There are still some around, but it would take a fare bit of shopping I guess.
Or the MX5.... route, but have you tried one yet?
Regards
Stu, Sylv and bump!

Good to see you too N on Sat + the Tiger Moth flying at Compton Abbas... In future - Zeds to airfield + THE ROAD Zig Zag hill?
A thought: this Aston Martin DB7 is cheaper than a new Z4!!! Which one is better to drive I ask?
Hey ho. Back to a manual gear box conversion to auto box?
