Icon2 automatic transmissions for diabled persons

I've raced and street driven Hondas and Acuras my whole life and at 32 was in a wreck that left me paralyzed from the chest down (f*kn VWs)

anyways, i need to start the rebuild on my hatch and now i feel like i am forced to be stuck with no other choice than the dreaded "glass" honda automatic transmissions from the 90's. Other than levelten who else can offer a well built automatic transmission?
on that note, what do you suggest i do moving forward? i would love to stay B or D series just because thats what i have ample parts for laying around and easily accessible. Am i better off going J? am i better off going K?
(just for drive-ability thoughts i am switching to air suspension, which i know isnt ideal for track or drag but i have no option if i want to get in and out of the car without the help of like 4 people every time.)


YES. eventually i will be going forced induction just FYI.. keep that in your thoughts when deciding.

The 5 speed behind the K series is pretty decent. At least in my couple years of owning a TSX. It was never an annoying thing to live with coming from manuals.

The downside to the K and the 5 speed auto is that they are massive and I am not sure it will fit better then frame horns on an EG.

i have seen many K's in the ek chassis, so maybe that could be a good starting point.
