Tons of people have done this swap... The only real difference between an manual to manual and a manual to auto is that you are going to have to add a clutch pedal and all the hook ups, also trim the brake pedal.

not many people really want an automatic transmission with a DET.. the auto tranny robs a ton more whp than manual transmissions. If performance is your goal then auto tranny is not a good idea.
