but if it is not, then i have to get it fixed. and in that case i want to swap. help please. w
what can i do after a swap to manual to get my car to pass CA smog laws???
As long as the motor is from a newer car than your own, it should pass with the automatic transmission. Then again CA has a lot more smog laws than I know of so it might be different now.
