3sp Manual to Auto

[joshnjulie1]

What would I be getting myself into by swapping out my stock 3sp manual tranny to an automatic? Would different autos require different things? (I'm sure they would).

Is the C4 the easiest of the autos to swap in or is there a 4sp out there that is just as easy?

Do I have to get a new drive shaft for the rear, and possibly one for the front depending on how the transfer case works (I'm a rookie at the transfer case thing).

Just got done reading over the tech article. The C4 would be the easiest way to go.
In that instance, I know nothing about an adpater/etc. If for sale, are these usaually all inclusive if coming from a Bronco, meaning that everything I need comes with it minus the work on the driveshaft needed?

This might get you started.
