    Default 5ME manual VS 5ME auto

    Hey guys
    here's just a quicky I'm hoping someone can answer today

    this weekend I'm dumping a new 5ME into the Crown

    the donor 5ME is from CrUZida's MA61 Supra

    what parts am I gonna need to change?
    obviously the sump & engine mounts ... But I'm just wondering if the Auto vs Manual 5M's are exactly the same motor but just with a different ECU ? thus making it a relatively straight forward motor swap

    cheers

    Should be pretty much the same. Same ECU.

    Manual & auto ECU's are different...
    Motor's are the same...
    all should be plug & play..

    cheers

    The ECU's do have different markings on them, but either will work without a drama.

    As said by GT should all 'bolt up'

    The Engine->body loom plug maybe different... I recall MA61 being different to MX62?

    Cheers

    well I have both looms and ECUs .. so should be able to work somethin out.
    I'll just stick them side by side and see if there are any differences
    thanks
