Ok, probably take some crap for this but i'm thinking about the possibility of converting my 02 over too an automatic. Won't be anytime soon, but considering it so that my wife can drive the car. Anyway i am not a familiar at all with any of the performance auto stuff so researchng this will be a learning experience for me.

Keep in mind the car has built motor and kb making around 600-64 rwhp and 600'ish torque. Car is probably 95% street driven, but i prefer to go overboard on the quality of parts so have pretty much built it more so for the track.

What are options number 1 as far as built overdrive tranny's or going with something like a c4 with an overdrive unit? Would kind of like to go with something with a manual valve body to still have the pleasure of shifting, but keeping with in reason of something that my wife would drive. She just can't drive stick because of the clutch. She just isn't willing to learn.

With the different tranny possibilities what would i need to keep things like the speedo and odometer working corrrectly?

I know i read alot as far as things like having a switch for od which i know would only come into play with a c4 style but not an actual od tranny. I also know that people run a switch to lock out the converter, would this be basic to any setup?

I would assume that with any of these i would probably have to the car completely retuned?

Don't know what else i may be missing, but i would appreciate any info that any of you folks can give me. Like i said, not something set in stone that i'm going to do, but good possibility. Probably looking at least a year before i would do it. Reason i am considering this is because we sold the wifes mustang do to needing to eliminate a car payment. Original thought was that down the road we would buy her another mustang, but in the long run think it would be less of an expense to swap the 02 over.

Thanks for any and all input.
