I really need to know if there is any possible way to make a 7 bolt auto tranny to work with a six bolt engine (non-turbo 2.0 4G63).... i was told i might just be able to change the torque converter in the tranny and it should work but i need to no for sure!!!!!!! any help would be great!!!!!

I''m not 100% sure but if you have a 1g, a 2g auto trans will not fit, the torque coverter is bigger in a 2g and the 2g trans is bigger. I''ll look around and see if I can find any info on that.

This guy made an adapter kit to fit a 2g auto trans in a 1g so guess it can be done

Oh duh sry I thought you were trying to put a 2g trans in your 1g lol. Try calling a mitsu dealer and see if the 1g 6 bolt and 7 bolt''s have the same part # torque converter.

i also know that the TC''s part # for the 6 bolt and the 7 bolt ARE different but i was told the only difference is where the crank goes into the TC''s the 6 bolt''s hole is a lil deeper for the 6 bolt engine crank shaft is longer than the 7 bolt
