im swaping a 4th gen vlsd manual tranny in my 00 auto. except the parts that are listed somewhere else in this forum, do i need a manual ecu or what do i need to do to make the tcm believe its still in neutral in order to make it work??? thanks

 

i would really apreciate to have an answer, i've searched the forum but found nothing relevant to my question

 

bump!! need an answer ASAP

 

I dont know how different the 00 ecu's are but on 4th gens you can us your auto ECU with your 5 speed swap. Of course its going to throw codes and you are going to have an annoying IACV issues at low rpms in gear, but it's do-able. I drove with one for over a year. No driveability issues at all with the iacv removed.
