There are different ECU's for manual and automatic.

Even the plugs are different. Manuals have 2 rows of pins on the connectors and Auto's have 3. Total of 5 plugs going across from what I last counted on my AUTO ecu

So basically you go through the trouble of removing the auto tranny, installing the manual tranny then go through another trouble of removing the stock ecu and finding a ecu for the manual and then installing that? O man!

Removing the ECU would be the easiest part of all of that.

price isnt too bad and from what everyone is saying it sounds worth it. And ok, decision made, shift kit much cheaper and easier than swapping to a manual tranny. soooo...who want to buy it now?

I'll think about it.

It's one thing to buy and another to install. Plus, the labor charges for this ain't gonna run that cheap either.

$250 seems a bit pricey. from what i've read about them on other cars they run between $50 - $150

^^Exactly, we don't have much of a choice and if it is as good as it sounds, I'd pay it...eventually

granted it would be an improvement. but i dunno if it would make $250 worth of improvement. plus the cost of installing it.

it's a shame i was gonna buy one of those too (or at least put it on my christmas list)
