Re: standard auto box swap?
Something tells me we've been round in circles on this subject before.
In fact, I've just done a search and it was four months ago. By yourself.

The only thing I can suggest is get a car ALREADY with a conventional autobox. If you want RWD, how about an E30 BMW?

Again?
Stop saying these things.
Varios are awesome. You will spend far more time and money converting a 300 to a trad auto than you would buying a trad auto.
As im sure hs been said before.
