Do what I did, look for an owner of a cobra looking to swap in an automatic.

Had the t56 swapped in for about 3 1/2 months and I love it.

Its not a hard swap but there is a lot of little things/parts that need to be done.

Unless you get lucky like Aereon you can expect to pay around $2000 for all the parts and then you have labor unless you can do it yourself.

I was going to do the same thing as you and i had all the parts i needed and i had spent about $1200 but had a change of heart.

That is $1200 that can be spent in other places and it just didnt seem 'worth' it.
