avanza with an auto box

[akescpt]

this is not a standard option. thinking of buying on 'old' 1 and then having an auto box fitted. i need a workhorse and the avanza fits the bill. but stupid toyota does not have an autobox paired with it!

so what do i do. these dealers are not usually helpfull if u go off the menu. if i do this what autobox should i use? and if u guys know of places i can do this that would help alot in CPT. thanx.

ps. i googled for an avanza with an autobox, there was only 1 hit - dealer in springs if i remember correctly.

i would be interested to know how much that costs.

I don't think you realize just how complicated that would be.

Your best bet would be to find out if the engine in the Avanza is paired with an 'auto in a different model and then use the same gearbox. The gear ratios would probably have to differ though and if it's electronically controlled(likely) you will probably have to replace your car's ECU.

Just buy something that already meets your needs.

+1, or just learn to live with the manual. I wouldn't even entertain the thought of doing a conversion like that...

Wish they would scrap the avanza and bring back the condor.

I always stand behind an avanza and I"m surprised to see what looks like a diff housing on the rear axle...is this monstrosity a rear wheel drive?
