The ECU for an automatic can be used in a manual transmission. However, it will not work vice-versa with the ECU from a manual transmission in an automatic.
No manual means to doit your self
The Question Is A Bit Of A Quirk. If You Have An Automatic Tranny The OD Should Be Automatic. But Yes They Would Be The Same, Or Per se. The Same Principle
If you just want a drop in swap, any 4L60E - that is it. You can upgrade to a 4L80E or 6L80E, but the latter will require new driveshafts, and they'll both require repinning the ECM connections and reflashing the ECM. Same deal if you want to go to a manual transmission (NV3500 or NV4500) or non-electronic automatic transmission (4L60 or 700R4)... the ECM will need to be reflashed.
Depends if you have a manual or automatic. Manual transmission, no, there is no transmission computer. For an automatic transmission, the engine computer and transmission computer are one unit typically called an ECM, Engine control module. There are many different names for and ECM. Ford started using computer controlled transmissions in the early 90's and late 80's.
no an automatic has a sensor it reads to down shift and driving habits including the dreaded crank senser and cam pickup
Short answer is "no." The automatic transmission is controlled by the ECM. It learns your driving habits and adjusts shift points accordingly. No need for such functioning on the manual transmission model. Often manufacturers make subtle changes to models while they are in production, such as using a component from a different supplier, and the ECM may be changed to accommodate. The only way to find the correct replacement is to match up the code numbers on the unit.
Automatic and Manual gearboxes are essentially the same, except that the driver does the shifting for a manual gearbox(my personal preference), and a computer shifts for an automatic gearbox.
Yes, if it is the same type (manual-manual) or (automatic-automatic). The bolts/plate may be different if not. Celicas were same body style, etc. until '94.
no. the crank toner wheel is different and the 2000 ecm will not read the crank sensor. You may be able to use the 2003 harness and ecm if your car has a manual transmission. If its an automatic the harness and ecm will not work unless you also use a 2003 tranny (the mounts and axles may be different as well). The transmissions changed from a 3 speed to a 4 speed in 2003. The ecm in an automatic will not control the 3 speed.
you can get it with manual or automatic.
A 2009 Mazda 6 does come with the choice of automatic or manual transmission, however the prices of each are not the same, as manual is slightly more expensive.
