6sp ecu with 5sp tranny
6sp ecu with 5sp tranny
would running a 6sp ecu from a 20v blktp and a 5sp t50 tranny cause issues? thanks. -sang

that's an interesting question.
i don't see how it would being that the ecu doesn't have anything to do with controlling the gear shifts, etc... also, unless there were sensors that indicated to the ecu what gear the drive train was in (which i highly doubt), i don't see how it would have any good or ill effects.
the ecu is only given baro, cam/crank angle, ignition confirmation, iat, map, o2, knock, coolant temp...nothing really to do with the transmission. even a/t cars are equipped with a separate controller unit for the a/t. i know when my CB7 was converted from 4 speed a/t to 5 spd manual, the only thing the ecu needed to know was that it was out of park (perpetual neutral :D). no ecu swap (that was later
).
all that to say: it shouldn't matter. sorry for the long winded answer.
