Default auto gearboxes have various codes and each code usually has a corresponding TCU

I dont know what TCU is cross compatible with what gearbox code.

as for swapping to a manual, thats a lot of hard work.

Default 5spd hard work? pedals, master cylinder, drive shaft and tranny? unless I have to cut and weld....

so you are saying that I better get '01 tip tranny to make sure everything is compatible with current tranny computer etc?

Default you will also need drive shafts for the front left and right

might need mounts too.

there are a lot of differences between the auto and manual.
