Question Trans.

Can I take out my 86-RX7 Manual Trans. and put in my 87-RX7 that has a Auto. Trans.? I just Bought an 86 becouse I wanted a stick and give my Wife the auto but the 86 has no compression so I want to put the stick in the car that runs. What is a ECU?

why the hell you wanna do that? Most people take out the slug-o-matic and put in the 5spd. It could be done if you have the ECU for the auto tranny. I got one if you want one. I just pulled my auto to put in a manual.

You will also need an auto steering column as well as gauge cluster. The auto computer, and an auto driveplate and counterweight. You'll need a blockoff plate for the clutch master cylinder. You'll need an auto driveshaft as well.

edit: oh yea, you'll also need the cable that goes from the steering column to the gear selector.

Why the auto steering column?

You will also need the auto tranny drive shaft. The 5spd shaft is a different legnth.
