Automatic ECU after 5spd Swap.

Hi people, I did a search, and found some info that the chech engine is only because some solenoids are missing, I know, it give me code 60 - auto tranny.
My question is, is there anyway to get rid of the check engine temporarily?
And for the future, what will be my best bet, buy a manual ECU or do some chipping?

Just switch over to a manual ECU.

What year/car/engine are you running?

disconnect a check engine light by unclipping a pin from the ecu or taking a bulb out in the cluster.

There's only a resistor you need to switch place to convert it to manual. PM me what ECU you have and I'll tell you. I can also convert it and chip if you need to.
