How hard would it be to change from Stick to Auto?

There is a nice CLEAN 4 DOOR DB1 for sale on EBAY and I was thinking of getting it for my Mom. But she does not know how to drive a 5 Speed. So, my question is how easy or hard is it to change from Stick to Auto? I have seen peeps do the swap from Auto to Stick but never the other way around…

Would it be worth it? I should’ve just bought that Clean Automatic DB1 that was on Ebay a lil while back…
What is the list I would need…? Auto Tranny? Peddles? Guage Cluster?

Any help is appreciated…Thanks.

Spend a couple of hundreds more and get an automatic from the begining. If not, you would need a transmission ECU, probably need to change also main ECU, since both computers need to communicate, plus a radiator with transmission cooler. Also, the Honda electronic transmission receives data from other sources like the TPS, the distributor, the AC compressor to name a few. In my opinion it would be a nightmare.
Good luck and happy new year.
