1000 k swap

Did you get a used auto tranny?
Ive been going back and forth on the benefits of both tranny's. This is the first time I've had a manual in a Jeep and I thought it would be a good change of pace but now I'm over it. I should be able to pull off the swap for less than a $1000 and now I have my heart set on proving everybody wrong that it can't be done. I finally got some straight answers out of Chyrsler on what needs to be done with the PCM and SCM modules on the JK to make the swap legit and I'm going to do it. I also picked the brains of the guys at COP 4x4 and they've reassured me that I'm on the right track and they'll assist me with whatever road blocks I encounter. It's actually going to be an extremely easy and I'm super stoked about it

The hole is already in your floor but it's covered by the auto tranny shifter sled. Once u swap out the shifter sleds the hole will be exposed and the manual shifter fits right through. The clutch pedal just pins into the bracket that the brake pedal is attached to. I've looked at both manual and auto equipped JK's and all the stuff is there and ready for the swap.

I scored a automatic tranny with 20K miles on it, with a torque converter, new tranny mount, dip stick and tube, all the sensors, and the housing extension for $500.
I'm getting hooked up with a wiring harness and some of the other interioir pieces for dirt cheap as well. The most expensive part I'll have to buy brand new is the new PCM, but that's only $240

How can you do it for less than a $1000.00, I'd thought the auto tranny was more than that alone...

Anyone want all the fixings for a Auto - Manual swap?
