Now, this might seem like a silly question but,....

Is it possible to turn a 94 850 from a standard to an automatic?

hah i am sure you can find someone in your area quite willing to swap with you, just find a competent shop

Sure... anything's possible given enough time and money. If you have both, and it's fun for you, then do it!

If not, simply selling and buying an auto is a much better idea.

The best way to do a conversion like this is to find a donor car or wreck where you can get all the parts you need. I converted my 700 from an automatic to a standard (when I also converted to a V8 engine). These car are designed for both tranies so all the mounting points are there, all you have to do is "bolt" the new parts in. It is definitly more complex than that but it can definitly be done
