Just a random thought but has anyone done a j swap and put a automatic transmission with paddle shifters in a eg? I think it would be pretty sweet to have something different like that in a car from the 90s
The easiest way would be to find an Auto J Series with Paddle shifters from an existing Honda/Acura. Then you want to get that Transmission, paddle shifters and the wiring in bewteen, You will also need the TCU(transmission control unit) for it as well.
If there are no paddle shifter J Series autos in a Honda then it will be doable, however very hard, it will require soldering into a TCU and then fabbing in your own control chip. I saw someone who did Fab work for intel put paddle shifters into his Automatic WRX, However it took him over 100hrs of work and that was using his tools and knowledge from Intel.
So Possible? Yes. Hard? Extrememly. Worthwhile? Probally not. The J Series Automatics have had multiple problems. they have had some recalls on them.
If you have the small chip programing and fabbing experence and want to give it a shot look at NASIOC (North American Subaru Impreza Owners Club) and try to find his Build Thread, I do not remember his name but If I do I will post it here.
