joker81 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hi Guys, I can already imagine the comments i will get about this, but here goes be nice please. I have a 72 240z with an auto trans. I am looking into swapping an RB25..but with a auto trans if possible. I know most people here will think i'm crazy for wanting an auto trans, but hey it is what i want. Does anyone know if this can even be done? Will the motor mounts be the same? I assume the Mckinney mounts are only made for manual transmissions? Also, the auto trans seems to be AWD only...will that be a problem? I am sure there are many other issues that can come up, but right now these are my concerns. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarlick Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 AWD won't fit without modifications to the tranny hull. Surly there's a RWD trans for the RB motor what about off a Holden from aussie land. Also I think there is an adapter for T56 from Castlemine Rod Shop that should allow you to mate a GM auto trans. Also I think you will need a ECU from a Auto car but I could be wrong. As far as comments I don't think true believers of the Hybrid Z spirit will judge you. Besides texting while driving 100mph and trying shift gears and hold your drink is dangerous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djz Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 A 4wd RB25 auto trans would be quite uncommon, rear drive ones would be much much more common as they came out in more cars. 4WD ones would only really come out in R33 GTS-4s which are rare and Stageas.

joker81 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Thanks for the reply...i will indeed need the auto ECU. I've seen them on Ebay so that won't be a problem.. so you're saying i can fit a GM auto tranny to an RB engine with this adapter? that's wicked, never heard of that option..
