I have a '97 2Dr Tracker that I installed a '97 VW 1.9 1Z TDi in. I will tell you, this is the PERFECT engine for this vehicle. With it's torque and great fuel economy, I love it. I've been driving it about a year now and I'm really getting tired of shifting gears (it's my everyday driver). I have been considering converting it to a 4 speed auto. When I installed the engine, I did all the wiring myself. It is the computer controlled TDi, not an easy task. I'm just wondering if it's even possible to get the 4 speed auto to operate correctly behind this diesel engine. I did read through the "fixkick tranny swap" and I was aware of most everything mentioned. Any opinion would be appreciated.
