its dangerous and not a very smart thing to do imagine yourself coming in to a turn and you floor it, u go into the turn and your transmission shifts, and it throws you out of control, that doesnt happen when you have a manual transmission, good luck and i hope you have insuranc on the car as well as yourself, be safe man and make sure you practice in a parkinglot with no cars or people, nice knowin ya...

not all 95 were automatic all 94 were automatic. in 95 they came with a manual trans and automatic was an option. do some reserch before you mis inform. and you can drift in an automatic lots of feint e brake and maybe throwing it into d2 or d1 2 initate shiftlock style. but you have to be real careful not to overheat the trans

yes you can drift an auto, as for how successfully, thats gonna depend on you.

What i would is a M/T swap. Hopefully you dont do this. But if your drifting on a road and spin out, There is a good chance of the car stalling. Which is dangeious never know if somone is coming in your way.........Oh and there is n skill it hahaha.
