As long as the engine is the same size, manual or auto transmissions should bolt up properly. If the vehicle has different engine options, make sure they are the same engines or else they will not bolt up.

That's the simple and basic answer... Going from one to the other isn't simple plug and play. Manual transmissions are simple, require gear oil, no cooling for the oil, no independent ecu, and usually different length of a drive shaft or CV axles (rear or front wheel drive). An automatic require automatic tranny oil specific to the make's requirements, hooks up to the radiator to cool the oil, and an independent ecu. Wiring is also different along the engine's wiring harness. Also, The alternator's wiring harness maybe affected. Relays maybe required aswell.

Can a manual and auto tranny be changed/switched? Yes

Is it practical? Absolutely not! There is alot to it that just a bolt on. Auto to Manual is easier, but you will need hydrolic lines for the clutch.

Can you swap an engine with a manual transmission with one that has an automatic transmission?

yes. If you're only swapping the engine they're usually all the same. Ask someone at an AutoZone or specialized auto parts store for more information on swapping engines. You'll need a manual. And there are a lot of sensors involved, so don't forget to put everything back on when you're done swapping! Specialized cars have engines that aren't interchangeable, but usually its not the engine that has a distinction between auto and manual, its what is connected to the engine such as the transmission and the intermediaries between the two.


Why are manuals cheaper than automatics?

because they are harder to drive less people want them since the demand is lower the cost has to be lower #EditedByAnotherUser : Also, it depends on the location. US have more auto cars whereas France for example has more manual cars, so the price vary. Manual cars take less gas than auto, and if you analyze correctly, you'll notice manual cars are faster than auto (when using same model of cars and same engine. For example, take 2 Kia Spectra, same year, same engine, one auto, and one manual: the manual one accelerates and goes faster than the auto.)
