    Conversion to manual your talking about?

    all are the same doesn't matter what car truck or whatever.

    but auto to manual same engine bolt pattern on all.

    Hey I know this is an old thread but...

    I had a friend ask me how hard it would be to plonk a GenIII and auto into his V6 auto VT exec wagoon?
    I am not sure on what will have to be replaced on the electrical side of things...
    I know the GenIII has an extra ECU but what else will be different in his loom?
