Since They never made a MS3 with an automatic, it is not a plug and play option, there is not a stock Mazda computer that can control the engine and tell the transmission when to shift.
Not to embarrass you, Siber, but he's got an '06.

Then I stand Corrected, my friend has an 06 and he said he couldn't get the A/T, I thought it was because it was not offered, not that there wasn't one close enough to get [sm=oopssign.gif]

Tell her how you just heard a story about a monkey that could drive a stick shift. Then ask her if she's a better driver than a monkey. That ought to motivate her.

Seriously though...definitely not worth trying to switch the car from stick to auto. If she must have an auto, sell the car, take a loss on it and buy a different one with the auto. It will be more reliable, less expensive and WAYYYY less hassle.
