lotsa lotsa lotsa money. you would have to get the trans, a new pcm, a different wiring harness, cooler lines, driveshaft possibly and other stuff that im sure im forgetting at the moment... the tally would probably eclipse the value of the car

Why would you want to do that? Miata's are roadsters its all about being the car?

Re: Manual to automatic conversion
yeah, go buy an automatic and sell the Shinsen to someone who knows how to drive and appreciate the car....

Re: Manual to automatic conversion
All things being equal, used Miata automatics sell for LESS than manuals. That means, the swap will cost you twice. Of course, the idea borders on the obscene too.
