can i make my 5-speed an auto?

well i lost my glorious 5-speed tranny with a bad nitrous day at the and well while the racing the maxima is fun i would just like to do what i intended the maxima to do, win show. i have to much money invested to waste if i where to mess it up racing( plus i have my honda for that stuff anyway). well to get to my point i cant ind a 5-speed tranny to save my life but the autos are everywhere. can i just drop a auto tranny in and be done with it or do i have to let my maxima sit in my garage?

will be WAY harder to convert to auto than just find another 5sp tranny.

Holy wiring job Batman! The auto is computer controlled, so you would have a ton of work to do. The 5 speed is all mechanical (well other than a sensor or two) so its an easy, yet time consuming job. You are better off poping a 5 speed back in there.
