    1994 Cobra 5-Speed to automatic

    I have a 1994 cobra with low miles that is really nice.
    I love the car but when I was younger I shattered my left knee
    And now when I drive a stick shift my knee hurts.
    I may take a shot at selling the car and if it doesn't sell I'm thinking of
    switching to over to an automatic. Has anyone ever done this switch
    on a 5.0 94-95?
    Does this transmission work on it's own with no computer telling it
    what to do?
    What am I going to get into?

    the computer does control the trans , i would think selling and getting an auto would be much easier, you just wont find an auto cobra

    Sell and buy another one. For the price of the cobra. You could get a reg auto gt 5.0 for ALOT less and make it the way you want with the extra cash and less of a headache

    Eh, I like computer controlled automatic shifting better than MVB.

    The actual Indy Pace Car Cobra Convertibles ( used for the race ) were autos. But these guys are right - I think you'd make out better as far as $ goes if you sell the Cobra and buy a nice clean auto GT.
    2014 GT Premium - Sterling Gray Metallic - MT82 - Track Pack - Glass Roof - Recaro seats - Spoiler delete
    12.76 @ 114.04 bone stock. Koni yellow coil-overs, BMR watts, LCA and LCA relo brackets, Borla S-type axle back.

    1966 Coupe - 331 stroker - Bullet custom roller cam - cam and motor installed and dyno tuned by Rodeheavers Hot Rod - Astro A5 - McLeod RXT - 486 to the wheels - more fun than my little tires can handle

    1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - currently NOT on jackstands
