Yes you can remove a manual transmission and replace it with an automatic. You will need to buy an aftermarket shifter kit of find a shifter for your vehicle from a junk yard. You will also either have to remove the clutch pedal or replace the pedal assembly
Automatic or manual trans?
If you have amanual transmission You have to push down on the plastic ring above the shifter boot. after you push down the ring, Now you can unscrew the shifter knob. IF you have a automatic transmission you have to remove the screw on the side of the shifter knob. (Be careful the button on the shifter knob is spring loaded)
on my SL2 there is a clip on the side closest to the heater controls toward the bottom of the knob you either need to push it in or pull it out im pretty sure its like a horseshoe clip you pull out
remove access plate on floor around shifter, 4 bolts hold the shifter onto the trans.
Remove shift release button off the top of the shifter, inside there is a small snap ring. Remove the snap ring and lift the shifter knob off.
Under the rubber boot covering the shifter, there should be 4? bolts. Make sure transmission is in neutral and remove these bolts, shifter should be able to be removed at this time
Remove the shifter cable and switch from the drivers side of the transmission and the seal will be driven over the small shaft and into the transmission case. The shaft is the one that the shifter cable hooked to.
