5 speed sway in a 5.5
i am hoping someone on here can help
I have an auto and i hate it
thought about a shift kit and if i cant get this to work i will do it
I found a great deal on a 2000 5 speed tranny and i have a junk yard with all the parts i need to swap.
My question is the ECU
I have an 03 auto so the ECU is designed as such.
What will happen when the 5 speed tranny is put in. My mechanic is a nissan tech and knows how to wire the wires up and make it work but he told me i would throw a shtiload of codes. he has a 3.5 manual swap in his 4th which was auto and he has all the tranny codes on all the time so he just unplugged the bulb. I am concerned about damaging a NICE And RELIABLE car
has anyone done this swap before
Any help is appreciated
Before you ask. I tried to get a 6 speed but the only ones i can find at 1800 dollars and the 5 speed is 325
thanks in advance for your help

FYI:
A33B ECU does not come in 5MT trim.
It's been tossed around before. No one has done it, but I would guess it's essentially the same as a 6MT swap. That HAS been done, there are a few threads on it.
Also, www.car-part.com does have 6MT's available.

yeah i found the six speed but its 1800 when i can do the whole thing with a 5 speed stage1 and fidanza for 1400 with install
what do you mean by 5mt trim
are you suggesting that the ECU wont run on a 5 speed

Looks like you edited it, anyway.
Since no one has done it, I would assume it is safe to say that a 6MT ECU should work.
Search for the threads on the 6MT swap, read them, and go from there.

i read all the 6 speed swaps
no one talk about ECU compatability as far as i can see and they are all in a 4th gen which has a different wiring
My tech is sure it will work but i am concerned that it will put the car into ECU safe mode

If that's the only thing, find out of the speed sensors on the 5 and 6 spd trannys are the same and go from there
Won't you need new tranny mounts too? I know the 5 and 6spd tranny casings aren't the same.
