So for example if I have an automatic engine (with an automatic engine harness lets say), and if I were to connect a manual ECU it would fit the connector on that harness?

Sorry for asking so many questions. i just need some clarification that's all. Thanx
No, the auto ecu actually controlls shifting, so it's not a connector for a sensor, its a connector for a shift controller. On the manual, the connectors are both sensors, I believe.

Yes, the ecu connector is identical.

Yes, the manual ecu would fit fine with the auto harness, but you wouldn't have the appropriate connectors to plug the auto harness into the manual tranny.

About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information?
