The wiring harness is 03 Cobra specific. I would double check
the 3650 harness. I am almost sure they are very close in design though. Enjoy. |
If you wanted an auto why did you buy a 5 spd???
|
He he...check my sig. :D

I didn't think they were a direct swap for the 96+? I guess your ABS is long gone? |

Um, ok, I dont' see the answer, am I blind? :D The question still stands for me. even with a 10 sec. car, if you are going with an auto, it wuldn't be stock anywho....:confused: |
He put an automatic in his cobra, which only come in manual.

Since when? |
I will be happy to admit if I am wrong, but I believe since 1993...

I believe SVT has never produced an Automatic Cobra. I can't be positive for years 94/95, but I am pretty sure. I am however, prositive that they have not produced one from 96 and up. No auto 4.6 4V Cobra;)

So steve?
So steve how much did it cost you total to turn ur stick into an auto? How do you like it, what kinda tranny u got in it, let me know
|
Funny this came up. I was wondering how hard it would be to do this to a 97 cobra convertible. Total $? What about labor?
Switch for overdrive to replace coin holder? The OD switch should be on the side of the shift handle. |

Honestly though, if I had to do it all over, I would not bother with the ABS stuff. It's a foo foo feature that just costs extra money to make work. And the **** ring gets in the way if a stud gets spinned in the axle. |
Add all of the parts above, along with:
-Lentech Strip Terminator 4R70W ($2595) -9.5" 3200 non-locking converter ($595) -35 spline input shaft and stage 2 drum ($399) -Shipping ($175) I sold the T-56 for about $2000, and some other goodies that were associated with the manual tranny. That helped with the cost. Labor is a good weekend. Like any "larger than bolt on" job, the most difficult part is having all the right parts on hand, and having someone around to go on a part run. Getting all the parts on hand is key, that shortens labor. That is why I created this write-up and posted this up. To save time and aggrevation for anyone who chooses to do this. :COOL: |
no autos in cobras? really......Can you tell I dont' know THAT much about them...duh.
Now why did they offer the mach with an auto, but not a cobra? I could have sworn I have seen listings on dealers websites with cobras having an auto......ok that is it I am going crazy...... It is especially wierd because there is a girl that has an 04 cobra, brand new no plates, around here and I could have sworn it was an auto.....tall tale signs....smooth shift, no delay between gears, breaking until light turns green.....man am I lost....no offense to the women that come here, but this girl looks like she can barely drive an SUV....you'd have to see her. |

I see now. My nephew did the same with his 03 snake no more 6spd or IRS although he used a MACH rear and Stock Tranny |

There are a couple of women that I know who can shift smoother than what I do normally. So the girl could know how to handle a stick, or she/her parents have to much money and had it converted for her to ba able to drive. |
I'm pretty sure I have seen a 4V auto before. Last year would have been 98.

There is no such thing as a Factory auto cobra period.
No arguments, no speeches. They never made one. I did do some minor assisting in Steve's deal though. So there are a handful of conversions. When you have a car like Steve's..you couldn't shift fast enough...:) |
Maybe you guys are right. I could have sworn I saw a 97 or 98 black conv't with an auto.
