JUst like the title says, will one work with the other, vice verse, or does it matter?
I checked Google but all I can find is how to convert an auto ECU to manual.
Also, how can you tell the difference between the two? Are there markings or a way to tell them apart externally?


Thanks in advance.

yes you can and modify it to get rid of the auto codes .
there are various write ups depending on what ecu your trying to run

check the code after p28 or whatever ecu you are running and google it
google is your best friend lol

If the last two digits after the A on the ecu are 50 and up then it’s an automatic. Less than 50 is a manual.

YOU CAN NOT USE a manual ECU on an Auto car. with out converting it.


if that is what you are trying to do.

being that the ecu controls shift points.

but Auto on a manual car yes that is possible. change the resister like in teal's DIY and you are fine.

lol thats what I was referring to got the two mixed up

I've got a few people on our local forum that have some but aren't exactly sure if they were for an auto or manual, now I know what to tell them to look for now at least. That was also the reason for asking if a manual would work in an auto, in case all they had was a manual ECU.
I'm looking for plug and play, I really don't have the patience to be modding an ECU to make it work or the skill set, PC's are one thing but ECU are a little above what I'm willing to tackle.

BTW, how does $30-$50 sound like as far as price range, one is $30 and the other two are $50.

$30-$50 is a good deal.

it only takes a couple min to convert an auto obd1 ecu to manual, once your iron is hot.
on both of mine the idle surged badly before converting.

glad i could help lol.
