Help me get my shopping list together...

Well, next weekend I am hopefully going to pick up an auto tranny with 60k on it for 150 clams.

So far for the manual to auto swap, here is my list-

4l60e Trans
Rebuild kit for 4l60e
Stall/Converter
B&M Trans cooler
Auto trans xmember
PCMforless re program for auto transmission.
1 Piece brake pedal

Can you guys think of anything else I will need for the swap? And recommend a good stall? Keep in mind this is an all stock motor with bolt ons, daily driven, with probable cam swap in the near future.

I would also recommend running brand new rubber hoses in place of the metal ones. Just trust me on this one.

Yep have to get the lines for the trans cooler... And why do you recommend the rubber hoses instead of the steel braided ones?

Also, do you guys know of a guide online somewhere for the swap?

I'm talking about the metal lines that run from the trans up to the cooler. Just as long as you replace them with something brand new, use whatever.

I lost 4 transmissions because I didn't do this, ended up just selling my car.
