Mr. Brat Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I have heard that when doing this swap you need to get a motor that was out of a manual car to go in a manual vehicle. Is this true and what is the differance between auto motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPGsuperchargedBrumby Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 no you don't need a motor out of a manual car...the one i have in my Brumby/Brat is out of an auto. once you take the flexplate or clutch off there isn't difference as far as i know as for the ECU differences i would think an auto one could be made to work by making the ECU think its in neutral or park however i wouldn't know...i have a factory dizzy an LPG carb on my one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrettenmayer Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I put an EJ into my GL wagon that was attached to an automatic - just pulled the flexplate off and bolted the EA flywheel up (after some grinding on the bolt holes). I don't think there are any computer differences - the legacy had a separate tranny control unit. The only difference I can think of with the wiring between the auto and the manual is a neutral safety switch on the auto and a clutch safety switch or some such thing for the manual trans.

gwilson87 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 In Numbchux conversion manual he mentions something about the neutral switch. I can't remember the details but iirc you just don't wire the neutral switch. Read through his write up 6-7 times just to be sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
