Hi guys,
I've been at it all day pulling a powertrain from a 2000 manual to transplant into a 1999 automatic.
I thought "hey, I'll pull the wire looms and transplant them too" but that is lining up to be a far more complicated job than actually pulling and re-installing the power train. Example, the wire loom from the shifter does not stay a virgin loom all the way to the electronic box but instead the loom is opened up in the passenger footwell. Part of it goes right and part of it disappears behind the plenum box and heads over to the driver side.
Question:
If I would install the power train of the manual into the 1999 without changing over the electronics, could I still expect the car to run? Does engine management and transmission management live in two separate places?
