you'll need a newer trans, and, looking at the wiring diagram, potentially a newer PCM/ECU that works both with your current engine and also a newer trans, not to mention somehow re-wiring your trans shift selector to include an extra gear...
can it be done - sure... should it be done - why not... will it be hard - extremely... especially being that I've never even heard of anyone wanting to do this swap, so I would be willing to bet that me looking at wiring diagrams is the most thought put into it ever...
any particular reason you want a 5 speed auto trans? straight line racing, even a 3 speed works just fine, and you definitely don't want an auto for road course stuff... just get a higher stall converter - and you will be in the power band all the time

Just can't do it-- I want the car to do exactly what I want when I want it to--
Automatic transmissions take the purity out of a sports car-- (This is probably why MOST real sports cars and exotics are standard equipped with a manual transmission)

have you ever driven a built auto trans with a shift kit and a good sized stall...
if not, please find someones car to borrow that has this, as it will open your eyes to a whole different outlook on auto trans cars...
with it done properly, it will be like a whole different car...
