i had takeing my car to hook ups to do a 5speed swap i get there and they say that because my accord is a 98 ex that it harded to do it and that the ecu needs some kind of code for the ecu that may or may not work so has any one done this swap on this year if so let me know so maybe you can help me

 

v6?

 

oh my bad its a 4

 

at the min you will 5spd, VSS for 5Spd, and driveshafts with abs rings (if you have abs)

 

this is the most grammatically incorrect thread I have ever read.

 

what so is it that all i need is the vss and diveshafts with abs rings right is that all

the 98s have an immobilizer which checks the code for the key against the code programmed in the immobilizer unit.

I've heard varying answers whether or not the immobilizer is actually inside the ECU itself. If it is you will have to have the ECU reprogrammed to match the key (or the key to the ECU). The dealership is the only place I know that can do this.

and the 5 speed ECU.

 

but if i get the 5 speed ecu do i have to have it reprogrammed

 

probably.

but if you run the auto ecu you'll have a CEL and the car may not run right since the transmission controls are built into the ecu.

 

thinks but is there anyone on here that has done this

 

yes i've done it before. you will need to get you a 5spd ecu n your keys to the dealer and get it reflashed ( reprogrammed )

 

now even the 5 speed need to be redone
