Does it matter if i buy a ecu that came from an auto for my 5spd?? I am going to put in the hondata so the hondata chip should modify it into a 5spd right??
also, how do i know if the ECU has been modified already by someone and how do i know i'm getting a working ECU??? please let me know as i am buying it off of someone tomorrow. thanks!

I know you can't use an auto ECM with the S100 or S200 systems, but I don't know about the Stage 1/2/3/4.

Uh...

I think you should be ok as long as the ECU doesn't have an integrated transmission controller built in, but I'm really baffled by why anyone would buy an auto ECU for a non-auto to begin with... however, not my money, so oh well

hondata can change it over to a 5-sp. by chaging the jumpers in the back of the ecu. it would help fi you told us what ecu it is that you bought.
