Auto and Manual ECM differences?
I posted this on the tranny board too, but I'm posting it here to get as much info as possible.
I swapped my 700r4 for a wc t5, and was wondering what changes, if any, need to be made to the ECM? I have a 4plug connector that was plugged into the old auto, and now it's just hanging there.
If I change the ECM or get a new chip, is it possible to hook up a shift light? I think I remember reading something about this somwhere, but im not sure.

The park/neutral wire from the auto shifter should be left open. This will tell the ECM the trans is in drive.
Best bet would be to get a MEMCAL for a stick car. One from a '92 would be best. Don't know about the shift light. It is only a milage thing anyway.
