Your best bet is to use an auto tranny from a trackick (tracker/sidekick).  But to do that, you will have to cut and spread the tranny tunnel, because the auto tranny is too wide to fit in the stock tunnel.  You will also have to have a lift on your samurai (I'd say about 4"), because the front driveshaft will hit the tranny pan, if you don't.
Tracker and Sidekick parts for sale.....PM me with your wants/needs.
