Converting an S or Chimaera to auto box
Discussion
Has anyone done this? I am considering a second TVR, but it would need to be an auto so lady targs can drive it (trust me, she's not getting a manual licence). The Cologne V6 and Rover V8 have many auto implementations, so all the hardware is available. But would it fit, how much work is needed?
Thanks.
Thanks.

The biggest problem would be getting a correct size propshaft, the chances of the auto box being the same size/length as a T9/T5 manual box is pretty slim imo.
Manual change gear linkage is easily and often changed on most Tivs, I think a auto shifter will be a little more involved?
If you are prepared to be a guinea pig and have deep enough pockets any thing is possible.
If you are serious try Rich at www.southwaysautomotive.co.uk they might take it on.
Why not just buy her a, off the shelf, auto convertible in the first place?

She loves TVRs (clever girl) so while we could get something else classic and auto it may cost a lot more money for anything she likes.
