you do not need the ecu i run a lx ecu in my dx (w/ multipoint) all it does is throw code 19 all the time runs fine

there is no seperate tranny ecu. if your car was a stick, and you change it to auto, then you will need the ecu that supports auto trans. but switching an auto to a stick requires no ecu change. let us know how hard that is, ive gotta buddy with an auto and we were thinking of the swap

i did a convertion on a Dc teg.. its really easy so dont over think it. your going to also need the 5speed mount for the trans, 5speed axles, shiftlinkage, and centerconsole.. the hard part for me was wiring up the reverse light
