5spd to auto swap?
Aside from not understanding why anyone would want to do this... I believe it would be better for you to find someone to trade with. There have been enough threads through the days of people wanting to trade or swap auto to manual, so you should be able to find someone.
i guess people cant make up there minds rather or not they want manual or auto...is it worth the conversion the answer is no if you got the money to spend like that then more power to you...this is the first ive heard of a person from 5 speed wanted to go to auto...it would be the opposite on what i would do
guys stop bashing i hear of people all the time having to sell their car for an auto due to different factors, such as wife, kids, injury...etc..
if he wants auto let him be he asked if its been done not for peoples input

U would need a couple parts.
-Auto flywheel
-tq converter
-auto trans
-Auto ECU
-auto wire harness
-auto fluid lines
-auto radiator
-auto shifter linkage
the 5 speed to auto swap would be harder then the other way. Becuase you have to have all these parts to make it work

The stock tranny is of the worst manuals I've ever driven. If there was a viable 6 speed auto or manual swap I would seriously consider it. I'm about to order the poly engine mounts, I think the engine movement is altering the transmission to Linkage geometry enough to cause binding. If that's the case then the shifting smoothness and feel should increase to acceptable levels once the engine's movement is restrained.
Good luck with your Manual to Auto swap

i've never had sloppy gear changes. that's a driver thing..
the gear ratios.. yea.. they're short.
best to just trade in the car.. dealing with an auto tranny transplant is more trouble than it's worth.
