U will need a manual chip for the ecu. As far as the speed sensor, im unsure. It should just be a proxy tooth pickup. Wire it up to suit like a normal proxy sensor and you will prob need a speeedo corrector kit from jaycar. bridge the P switch out. shouldnt be too much moore then that. but if u wanna make life easy get a manul box loom to plug in, save you alot of guessing.

You can get a custom loom for around $500 according to my check list or you can do what im doen & give your auto electrician a call to see if they can wire it up.
In hind sight, an auto electrician should be able to wire up your new loom, with your old 1 & bits & peaces, cheaper. Im running a cable to the boot so it will be less hastle for my mechanic, when it comes to servicing my vehicle, which currently has brand new parts in it.
Can you let me know how your going with it because its been 6 months, since your last post & im looking into taking my VR into a transmission shop in the next week or 2.
