Auto wiring loom with computer

thats off my head, ive been from manual to auto, back to manual and about to go back to auto soon. mind u my car was orginaly auto so, and my auto box has always had a manual valve body, so only a few wires needed
if u get a manual valve body u can remove all that wiring and computer

just sell it and buy an auto or dont buy it at all
97% of vls are auto, it would be a crime to buy a manual one with plans to make it auto, unless its like something special.

u cant go from manual to auto unless is was converted to manual. my mate is a mechanic its cant be done unless u want to spend a lot of money for it which isnt worth it. just buy an auto.

yeah it would be a pain to do all the wiring, a full manual auto would fix that but
