Has anybody changed a manual 3.2 DID to an automatic?
I am thinking about a transplant. Do I need to change diff ration as well?

Hi Oubaas,

Isn't it interesting how people have different preferences?
You have a Manual and would prefer an Automatic and I am exactly the opposite - I would far prefer a Manual to the Automatic Gen3 that I have. Alas, Mitsubishi chose to import only auto's from about 2003 so I am don't really have a choice...
