Title: Manual to Auto
Post by: red_devil on October 26, 2014, 01:40:31 PM
Guys my car is now set up with red motor and 5 speed box.

Considering going to T bar auto, Trimatic I guess.

Would the existing tunnel we fitted to take the Celica 5 speed take the auto box.

What is a good radiator set  up to plug the cooling pipes to.

Any other pointers guys or do's and do not's.

I can't remember what you have for mods. but the auto should be an easy fit . I prefer linkage over cable and like to move the brake pedal to clutch pedal position . There are plenty of alloy radiators to choose from on ebay with auto option ,or you can just use a separate cooler . Get in touch if you have any problems . Haydn

I always had an external cooler mounted in front of the stock radiator, both when I had a Powerglide and later on with the Trimatic in Faecal. I never had any issues with it. Of course if you've already got a larger radiator fitted, you might find it neater to get a new one.
