hey, I'm about to swap out my auto tranny for a 5-speed on my h23. I have a couple of quick questions before i get started, and i know some of yall have have done this swap before. any help would be much appreciated.


1. is the passenger side motor mount the same for both transmissions? Visually they look the same, and i was wondering if i could save some cash and just use the mount off the auto tranny.

2. Can the reverse light sensor for the manual plug into the wiring harness for the auto? and when i remove the automatic shifter what do i do to the wire harness.

3. Will the manual ecu simply plug into the automatic ecu's harness? or will i need to modify the harness.

4.What suspension componenets will I have to remove to drop the tranny out from the bottom of the car?

5. Is there a way to keep cruise control? I was thinking of just ditching it, but i'd like to keep it if i can.

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated

 

3. Yes it will plug right in.

For the rest i wont tell you, search archived content for the official auto to manual thread. Search under my name(or recent/archived for auto to manual) for reverse light and starter wiring.
