You certianly can put one on an Auto. It has nothing to do with the tranny. The reason they may something about not fitting a cold air on the Auto is a clearance issue. But they must make one for both setups. Im not super familiar with the lancer's setup.

I know for the neon 1st gen Neon's the Iceaman CAI could be modified for an Auto trans. Basically it had to be cut a little shorter. Look around im sure you'll find one for your car.

Your not the only one with an auto lancer

i hear ya. Just make sure you don't dump too much into the lancer. Save up for an evo. Unfortunately they are being sold very cheap these days. Not unfortunate for you of course

Youll be happy in an Evo for sure
