Auto ECU in a 5 speed?

This may be a dumb question but would a ecu from a 96 auto work in a 96 5 speed? i have 2 1996 maximas, auto ( parts car ) and 5 speed daily driver, but im lookin to send out the auto ecu to have it tweaked, and wondering if they are compatible, thanks

I think some people who did manual swaps still kept their ECU's. The only draw-back that they were aware of is a constant or intermediate Check Engine Light.

It'll work; you'll just have a bunch of codes.

codes for the transmission
and a strange fluxuation in rpms not dropping after comming out of gear(cause the auto ecu is looking for a auto tranny on a 5spd car)
