Is there an automatic transmission (preferably a GM) that will be suitable to use with an ECO-TECH ? This will be used for trail riding .

Would the one from the donor car work with fabbed A-arms ?

What is the stumbling block that keeps people away from automatics . Eventually the bus tranny's will be gone . It would be great to have more options .

Thx
Gonzo

I would say the biggest hurtle is the gearing. Its hard to find a tranny the can be modified for lower gears. Theres a guy in Australia that is making gears for Subaru autos so we can use those trannys
