oooooooooo

 

do a MT swap (AT in a spyder is the gayest thing I have ever read here)

agreed. This is a sports car. not an prius. drive it the way it was built. Converting to an auto would be a disgrace to what this car is about imho

 

If you want an AUTOMATIC transmission, you're a poser.
Buy a different car.

 

OOOohhh The Natives are restless.. Tromping on the Sacred Spyder is He?

Never herd of an Automatic in the Spyder.. Could be Done..

Sounds like your form 'Not the US'.. So I can not tell what donor cars you might have avalable to you..

But a Automatic Celica, 1ZZ would be a good Choice.. ( If there is a Good Choice for an Automatic in a Spyder.. Yes I have to get my Licks in too! )..

If you are Replacing the Transmission, and trying to keep a Sporty Car Still.. I'd Go After a 2ZZ Celica with Automatic.. and take the ENTIRE Drive Line..


If you go 2ZZ Engine AND Automatic from a Celica ( Or it's variant ).. use the '00-01 Model year for Various Reasions.. and I'm Thinking it will all fit and run.. Need all the Electronics for the Engine Computer, and the Trans Electrical Plugs..

If you use the Celica as the Donor Car.. the Celica ECU will be 'More Compatable' with the Spyder Electrical System, and be 'Somewhat' Plug and Play..

You'll be On your Own for the Shift Stuff.. as I havent Got a CLUE as to how all that is Done..

Answer: Automatic transmission.


Question: What do I do when I am too lazy to flick that little SMT lever or push a button on the steering wheel?


Jeebus man, they made these SMT things for folks like you who just don't get a proper transmission. You just have two pedals and a lever to worry about... If you can't master that, then perhaps you should take the bus...:huh:

What button? :lol:

 

One more thing... John Wayne called... He has requested that you change your screen name...-_-

 

Wow you guys dont take prisoners lol, i agree that an AT is sacrilage but maybe he has reasons for not being able to drive MT

 

toyota designed the ZZW30 without an automatic option on purpose.

if he wants an A/T, he should buy a celica.

 

This reminds me of when Kobe Bryant bought a Murcielago for his wife a couple of years ago and then had it converted into an automatic transmission by the factory. The only one in existance with an automatic transmission.

 

A friend of mine had a Ferrari Mondial that Ferrari retrofitted to a GM Automatic for him. His excuse was that fact that a stroke made him unable to feel a clutch pedal with his left leg.

 

You have issues with the SMT. Go figure! If you have a physical limitation that prevents you from driving a manual, go for it. It can be done. If not and you simply want to rid yourself of the SMT, it will be easier to convert to a MT. It's been done and there are write-ups available.

 

Could be the answer to the shifting inept people who post WTB but can't drive stick.I could teach any idiot how to drive stick in 5 min or less. My wife is proof of this.....

 

how are you going to keep it cool?
