OBDII Mt conversion???
I have heard that OBDII cars have issues with being converted to a standard shift. Has any one else heard of this? And why is it?? I would really like to try it myself and I would be willing to cut a pretty good deal on the first person who wants it done... More or less it would be feeding my curiosity

I have heard that the CEL will pick up the lack of a TCU... But I am not sure anyone confirmed this... If so, I would like to come up with a fix for the problem. Just throwing around the idea because I do not think there is a single OBDII mt SVX out there right now

Tom,
I think the biggest stumbling block has been the lack of an ECU pinout diagram for an OBDII SVX. That stopped me from switching to a full stand-alone on my former '96. Get that, and I'm sure the swap can be done.

Re: OBDII Mt conversion???
Sorry to drag up an old thread, but has anyone successfully converted an OBDII car to a manual transmission?

Re: OBDII Mt conversion???
Sure, but not without a permanent CEL

Re: OBDII Mt conversion???
Really?
All the ones that I have done have been OBD1s.

Re: OBDII Mt conversion???
Did a 97. 96 will as well due to the com link between the TCU and ECU.

Re: OBDII Mt conversion???
One thing on my to do list is monitor that pin and see what the signal looks like. It is also the only thing keeping me from trying and OBD1 TCU in my 1996 to get the upgrades.

Re: OBDII Mt conversion???
What? You mean " The 1997 will as well , due to the com link between the TCU and the ECU. I had to read that 3 times

Re: OBDII Mt conversion???
Its a data line between tcu and ecu reporting the status of the tcu.... you will not be able to reproduce it

Re: OBDII Mt conversion???
Good luck replicating everything the TCU would see and have it report back to the ECU. It's not a simple range of voltage but complete communication back and forth.
