p28 question

[vxturbo]

I got a friend with a p28 for sale but he doesnt know if its 5 speed or manual. I know it has sumthin to do with the numbers on the side but cant remember what theyre sposed to be. I looked all over this site can someone helpo me out?

not sure if you can tell by the numbers on the ECU, but if it is auto, i heard there is a chip you can take out, a resistor chip or sum'n and it will be like a manual . . .

Yeap you can. There is either an M or an A (M being manual, A being Auto) on the sticker on the ECU. Like with my p13 it said p13 M and some other numbers.

The numbers are 37820-p28-ao2760-701161 there is no where it says m or a that a is the revisison code. i looked it up.

N/m i called a shop out here and they said that the A is the revision code and the 0means its manual. if it had a number there it would be auto. Thnx

wait... give me some xamples cuz you just confused the s**t out of me

You know the numbers on the side of a p28(or any ecu)? My numbers read - 37820-p28-a02-760-701161. Obviously the p28 is what kind of ecu it is. The A02 is whats important the A is like the revision and the 0 means 5 speed. If it read xxxxx-p28-A(anynumber 1-9)2-xxx-xxxxxx it would be auto. thats what the shop told me anyway and they are reputable. Did that help?

wouldnt it just have like a stick with letters 1-5 and a big R on it if it was manual???

p28

the auto ecu has says a5o on the side but still works in the manual car. it will just throw back a check engine code. in other words you can still use it your light will just come on. i'm doing it in my eg right now
