I’ve been considering doing this swap for some time, but as I get close to pulling the trigger I have some more questions.
First and foremost, I have a 1998 2 door that I drive which has a 3 speed automatic. I have a running and driving donor (extreme body/frame rust), a 1998 door 2 5 speed manual.
Since I have a 1998 2 door donor I would think I have everything I need for a direct swap. I’ll be looking at swapping: pedal assembly, transmission, clutch cable, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, driveshafts. Once that is complete I will be swapping third members front and rear from the donor as well, as well as the speedo.
ECU is my next question. I have the “dumb” 3 speed. Can I simply swap the ECU from the manual in and avoid the p0740 for TCC lockup?
I don’t have smog testing so I can even leave the automatic ECU in if it will work, but I’d also like to know what I will swap over from the donor to have no CEL at all (please don’t say complete dash harness!!!!
Hahaha)
http://www.fixkick.com/SWAPS.html#Tranny_swap I’ve read this page, and it’s been helpful. But the examples seem to be focused on the auto to manual swaps.
Thanks fixkick!
