    Slapstick conversion for automatic?

    Is it possible? If so, what brand should I use? I did a search on google and then this site and found nothing.

    The only thing I can think of would be going with a full sequential shifting set up, and that's going to cost you tons more that the car is worth.

    learn to drive manual. It's more economical and practical.

    I really like my '84 P w/automatic.
    I love the o/d button on the shifter.
    It works great, that's fine for me.

    Instead of someone telling you to ditch your automatic supra that you probably like a whole like, I'm going to help you out, and before someone brings up the w58 swap, everyone that has ever done one says they would never do it again.

    ..but really the search button is your friend:

    Who says this? I have never once seen that statement typed out on this forum. I had a 100,000 mile 85 with an auto, the engine and trans were perfectly healthy and the car was slower than my DD auto cavalier. I have nothing against auto's in daily drivers and drag cars, anything else and I just feel to disconnected from the car. I would do the 5-speed swap over and over again, if you pre-plan the work, it only takes a few hours.

    Do you know of any guides for a 5-speed swap? The ultimate auto solution seems nice; however, I was looking for a simple installation like most other slap sticks are for Mustangs.

    I'd definitely do the 5 speed swap again. There is a how to thread but a quick search couldn't find it.

    Edit: found it.

    Supra Stick should work with our transmissions. Or you could build a switch. Our autos are SUPER SIMPLE. There is 3 solenoids. One turns the lockup on and off and the other two control shifting. I'm probably wrong, but it goes something like this:
    1st gear SolA-on SolB-off
    2nd gear SolA-on SolB-on
    3rd gear SolA-off SolB-on
    4th gear SolA-off SolB-off

    I'm certain about 2nd and 4th, but might have 1st/3rd mixed up.

    I think it only comes in at part throttle cruise. I put a ECT from an 89 Turbo Supra when my ECT in the cressy died. It never locks up, likely due to the speed sensors be off(different gear ratios) so I just wired a 12v switch to it.
