You have to have the right tools to finish this swap in one day. It took me four days....but I still haven't got the car to start up. :/ As for the ECU...its recommended to get the same year 5spd ECU. I have no idea what you can do on the tranny harness since the tranny is from a '89 SOHC.

i have a 1995 5sp ecu so thats fine, I will do the wiring before I swap the trans so I will bypass the parking and neutral switch and mount the clutch pedal and master and some other stuff before I do the actual swap. I have air and pretty much all the tools I could ever need so that wont be a problem. I am not afraid of the wiring just need to figure out what needs to be done exactly so I can do the swap. I think all thats holding me up is driveshaft now. The trans harness on the 5sp only activates speed and lights correct? or does the ecu see the gear selector possition for any other reason?
