Thanks. | There are a few things that may occur if your car is an AutoMatic and you are doing a manual swap with the motor swap. You will need to address; Back up switch Cruise control Body side ECM None of these things will stop the car from running, just a few things that will make the swap more complete... __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.
