The OBD2 A/T GSR used a separate TCU on a subharness and a manual P72-A13 ECU. But unless you have a knack for custom wiring, that won't happen for you. The P2P-A72 (B16A4 A/T) should get you moving at least, but it won't run that well. You can tune it with a Greddy eManage or AEM FIC, however that would cost more than a 5-speed conversion would.

There is a bastard P72-900 A/T with internal OBD2 controls, but it can't be chipped and still needs to be custom wired for the fourth plug. As far as I know, nobody has ever bothered to try it so good luck finding a write-up on that.

the reverse light and auto tranny solenoid share same wire and same plug so you can use the reverse sensor plug on any harness to run the solenoid plug
