Depends on the vehicle and if it's rear wheel or front wheel drive. Some, like the Chevy pickups of the 70's and 80's you could do very easily. Then they began to build vehicles that they didn't want you to fix. Things got put in the way etc. Changing transmission on a modern front wheel drive minivan or SUV can be quite challenging and almost impossible unless you have a vehicle hoist.

The incorrect installation of the torque converter can be a costly mistake.

To change from an automatic to manual transmission in a Ford Bronco, you will have to fine a transmission that bolts up to the engine. The transmission mounts have to be changed. The shifter has to be changed along with adding an entire clutch system including a pedal. This will require brackets, drilling in the firewall and possibly welding under the dash.


What are some reasons transmissions go bad?

There seems to be a correlation between the use of my cars by my son and the demise of my transmissions. I am told this is just coincidence..... maybe. I do know though that transmissions wear out over time. They die because of dirt in the fluid (that is why I do not change fluid ever! It increases the change of getting contamination in fluid.) Putting the wrong fluid in destroys them. Heavy trailer loads wear the bands out faster also. Hard use, such as joy riding is hard on the transmission also..... Hmmm, maybe there is a reason the transmission go bad in my cars when my boys drive them.......
