Extremely easy as long as you get the proper bellhousing, pedals assembly
and gearbox with crossmember.
Take care

Easy. Telephone. Ashcroft transmissions did the reverse (manual to auto,
that is) on my Defender a few months ago. No problems. I never even got my
dainty little hands dirty.

I've sometime thought about doing that with my Defender.
Was it expensive ?
Was it worth it ?
What does it do to the fuel economy ?
Do you use it for towing ?
Loads more questions ?????????

I got it done because a knackered left elbow made gear changes very painful.
Pain-free now
)A little over £4k.
Definitely worth it (see "pain" above)
Fuel economy is meant to improve. I've not seen much evidence of that, but I
do still try to drive it like my (long gone and sorely missed) 205 GTi. That
doesn't help.
I don't do towing. It makes people laugh.
Anything else? Ask away.

Many thanks for the info.
I've come to love autos (and I also think that autos make a better job of
gear changing than I do).
My Defender is a 2002 TD5 pickup, what's yours? (basically, does it have an
ECU? did it need rechipping?)

My pride and joy is one year old in a couple of weeks, so I strongly suspect
the presence of an ECU. If anything technical was required it has sailed
right over my head. I can check the oil and basic stuff like that, but other
stuff? That's what mechanics are for.
It's a 90 Hard Top with rear windows, or if you prefer, a Station Wagon
without rear seats. A mis-build, I was led to believe. Didn't care. It was
exactly what we (I) wanted. (*He* still wants a Lotus Elise. I'd like one
too, but getting in and out is going to be fun.)
