What year is your car? You will need the manual ECU. Search for threads created by LUSERKID. He did a write up on auto to manuals for 96+

You cannot use the auto mount but you can use the auto ecu, only if you have soldering skill. 2 resistors have to be de-soldered and one replaced with a jumper wire. rp18 and rp17. just look on google for auto to manual ecu conversion for p28. If you cant find it i'l find it later for you. -ejoner

Very true. You will have to get a custom mount made by Hasport. If you dont have the soldering skills it may be easier for you to sell the auto and purchase a manual p28.

Take a look at the following jumpers in the lower right hand corners of the ECU,
RP17 and RP18 values:

Auto to Manual:
remove RP17 and RP18
replace RP18 with a jumper wire

There you go, once again if you do not have any soldering skill you can just take it to a electrical repair shop and have them do it. It should take a max of 10min. If you decide to do it yourself just buy yourself a small roll of solder braid from radioshack, its used to take out all the old solder.-ejoner

I can second this. I did it myself, and I am a complete novice at soldering. I attempted it after a few practice runs "repairing" wires in tech school. Really not all that difficult. Works like a charm now. Only downside I can think of is maybe the redline being lower for the auto, but I have not tested it to that point yet (fresh rebuild still).

(BTW, I noticed the auto p28 ECM's tend to sell cheaper, so that's why I ended up with one.)
