EA82 5spd / with ECU from Auto, Problems?


Recommended Posts

Is there any complication in switching from auto to manual tranny on the EA82. In my swap I got a harness from an auto and installed the motor bolted to a 5spd. I've tested the ECU and it indeed tells me it's auto.

 

Do I need to do anything to my harness to let it know its had a shifting change?

 

In looking at the FSM it seems the neutral switch is tied to more than the starter? I just wonder if this is some how messing with my motor running.

 

thanks in advance

Dunno about 85, but my 87 TurboWagon currently has an ECU from an Auto.(original ECU was auto as well.. the car was an Auto) All I had to do when I swapped the trannies was bypass/jumper the neutral safety switch

thanks calebz

 

I thought you had done the swap...

 

The brat has no clutch or neutral safety switch so it will turn over without the neutral switch in place.

 

bypass/jumper = wire the two ends together? I don't have the switch so I can't tell if it's normally closed or normally open?
