the vitara auto is much bigger than the jimny gearbox (auto or manual)... i expect you will be up against all the name issues that you would have if you were trying to put the auto into a sierra...

i.e.
tunnel
gearbox mounts
jackshaft
sorting out the back of the gearbox (bearing support plate)

etc...

I assume when you say G16A you mean the Trimatic 3 speed auto?

You'll suffer with gearing but it won't be too hard to fit - should clear the tunnel.

If you mean the AW-4 these are quite bulky and you'll also need to patch in the TCC and shorten the jackshaft quite a lot.

either way you'll need a closeout plate and support bearing to seal up the back of the auto.

why don't you just fit the G16 with an adapter plate for a sierra so a std jimni auto will bolt up to the G16 ;)

Because our information is that the G13BB 4Speed is at the limit of its torque handling capability behind a G13BB, because there are no upgrade parts for the auto, all parts have to be ordered from suzuki and a replacement box (from suzuki) is $8500

IT might work if kept cool, but if it doesn't work there's no easy solution - you're back to a trimatic/AW-4 or a manual.

Do you know how the install went and if the Jimny auto has lasted?

Also, what type of driving does he use it for, road, desert, mud or something else?

I am looking at doing the same but don't want to destroy a (sellable) Jimny auto when giving it a pounding in Kiwi mud holes.

Cheers.

Do you have the number and the international area code?
Or can you tell me what city is Springwood near or even which state?
