Keep it in the same thread
I dont think so though
Only time you have to change the ECU is when doing a engine swap and even then, its optional

u dont need it, it will just detect some error code i believe? which you can bypass. I did an atx to mtx swap in a previous automobile. I had to ground the neutral start switch (clutch switch)

it will not give any code but you do need to loop a wire

just follow the directions on the auto to manual swap. Its really not that hard.

not that im nosy but since you only have 8 posts and been asking the same question. perhaps you should try searching. actually searching is not even necessary, try looking in the faq.

you will find this link there

simple search will yield you tons of mtx to atx conversion results

when i did my first atx to mtx conversion on my 3rd mx3 i personally found over 20 threads. the only things i couldnt find were the pictures of which wires to jump on the atx harness but i found that for you too...

search function is great. i have been able to complete just about every project i started on my mx3's because of it and for that i am a firm believer in learning to use it.

I have done the swap without chaning anything, but i do not have any reverse lights, so thats the only thing needing fixing...i think. Oh, and theres a thing near the ATX shifter that tells it when the car is in N or P, you need to make sure that thing is always pushed in.
