transmission swap. howz it run?

[palooza73]

i was wondering if anyone has done a transmission swap to a 5 spd on a 98 or s14?....if so....howd it run?....does the rev limiter on the automatic eco rev limit the transmission?....any lights flashing?.....any drawbacks?...anything!!!!!!

Add this quest to palooza73, DO u need a new CPU if u swap to a manual transmission? like i need to swap the auto trans Cpu with a manual CPU?

although i have an s13, with an s14 trans, i can answer a few of your questions.

the rev limiter works from engine revs, not the trans, then cuts the fuel to limit the revs. so yes it will still work. and to your question about it running well... yes, it runs great no drawbacks except having to shift gears

for s14's you need to swap over the manual ecu in order for it to not throw diagnostic codes. s13s like mine, don't.. i still have my automatic ecu in.

so SHIFTrl240 i do need to get me some manual CPU in order for it to work properly.

thanks for the info.

man just cant find a s14 kouki with manual transmission so i decided to get the automatic that i found. 1 year of searching and nothing then when i bought it 3 month later i found a manual sorry for me:( still its red i dont like red. hehehe

[SHIFTrl240]

yeah you will need a ecu change if its an s14

that is nto 100% true a 1995 is obd 1 and the automatic ecu will work, just as it does on the s13!
