if i converted auto. to manual. would i need a manual ecu? does it make a difference in revs and etc.?


I believe you can use the auto with a manual but not the manual with the auto. So you should be OK. Some leads are different neutral switch etc.
Some of the other guys here could give you more detail perhaps.

Your from new hampshire?? Theres a few of us supra guys from nashua, where are you from?

Theres a writeup somewhere on how to trick the ECU thinking that the car is in park to start the car on the auto ecu but using a manual tranny. If you do this the ecu will throw you a code for the tranny missing.

im in manchester i just figured id ask if it would make it run differentley if not then thats cool. i already have the whole 5spd w58 swap done

I'm using an auto tranny and swapped it with a 5spd ecu and didn't notice any change.

We should meet up sometime this summer, we're plannin a cruise up to the beach this summer with a bunch of cars 4-5 supras, viper, 5.0 mustang, and a 3000gt. Should be fun :evil2:
