Re: SD> Auto Conversion/WTB

[Mike Fisher]

I am currently in the process of converting my 85 SC to an auto too, but 
I have the problem with having a 6 bolt crankshaft.  With an 8 bolt like 
you have, it should be no problem to put any a413 lockup or non-lockup 
tranny later then an 85 (85 and older have 3 bolt converters and 
different splines on the converter and pump) in it.  If you get one 
newer then an 89 (and correct me if I am wrong guys), you will need the 
larger axle shafts from a 90-up Omni.  Also, if you put in a lockup 
tranny, you will have to wire it up to turn it on while at crusing 
speed, or build a circuit like I am currently trying to figure out to do 
it automatically.  The rest of this I am still trying to figure out 
myself.  Good luck!

I need to change the oil seal in my 87 SC, and while I am at it, I would like 
to convert to an automatic (currently 525, which will need a new clutch disc at 
least).  I was wondering first, is there a site that has a good procedure of 
it?  I am imagining I need:
Transmission (what auto models are there?  I only know manuals.  Do I look for 
one from any FWD of the time?, What is a good price?
Shifter/linkage (I assume this is cable shift?)
Torque Converter (any suggestions?)
Flex Plate
Kick Down Cable (I already have the bracket on TB, just no cable)
Do I need axle shafts?  If so from what?
I would appreciate any help on this, or if you ahve any of the parts I require, 
let me know.
Thanks Everybody
