To Do the 4 speed Auto conversion is ALOT of work involving Some Fabrication of brackets, etc

Im sure jason (Dellboy) will post up what is involved but IMO its not overly worth it,
When I first got my current EA with the 4 speed Auto, thought it was some big deal over the 3 speed in my old EA.

Things ive noticed about it in regards to the 3 speed
1. the 4 doesnt take off as quick as the 3 speed
2. it costs more for repairs like S5's and stuff (ive just realised)

But If you do go through with it, best of luck

If you want to change diff ratio its a must, otherwise forget it.

Send me a PM if you want the wiring for pin assignemnt to the ECU.

Basically, you need:
4 speed auto wiring loom (one plug has to be reworked)
Brackets to extend the cross member to the body
Seperate trans ECU
Grind part of the underbody mounting point for clearance issues (passenger side)
4 speed auto trans cooler lines they are very different
Trans cooler may as well be added while you are it.
