Ok so i finally got my swap completed but i have some problems:

1. Speedometer is going crazy, it reads alot higher than im actually driving, it moves but doesnt bounce, RPMs meter works but not the speedometer2. Cruise Control does not work at all, it power up but doesnt work

Something tells me those two problems are closely related.-Reverse lights and Brake lights work fine.

3. I couldnt use the 5 speed ECU I bought. The connections were not the same. Do i have to rewire or something?

My car is a 98 and i have OBDII emission testing due at the end of this month so i need the ECU swapped or atleast modded to work the way the factory 5 speeds came in and ASAP

yes i did search here and in other forums but nothing helped, but if i missed something please direct me there.

Overall succesful swap minus those things.

thanks in advance

sounds like you forgot to adjust your speed sensor.

excuse me if I sound like a noob but how do I do that?

it would help if i said the transmission i got had the cables that come out cut off by accident so i dont have the harness and the cables are ridiculously tiny

the ones there on this pic, i dont have that. [Ignore the Captions]

You need to get a s14 manual speed sensor, anything else will screw up your speedo reading like your saying.

Did you swap in a s13 transmission?
