5speed swap CELs
Hey.
About a year back I finished my 5 speed swap, and have just left the codes be. I bought a 5 speed ecu(the junkyard said it was from a stick shift v6 99 camry, and the part number is the same as the one toyota told me to get) and it still throws the solenoid/planetary gear codes. My plates expired a little over a year ago, which wasn't a big deal because it's not my daily driver. I don't have the Pn handy of the one in the car, but I can get it if need be(car is half an hour away chillin in my friends shop)
The problem: I am moving soon, and need to get it plated. Back in the day my Toyota tech friend suggested that I might need the 5 speed harness. I always disagreed, mainly because it's 400 bucks that I don't have and it has to come from Japan.
My question is have any 4th gen or solara 1mz guys done the 5 speed swap, and if you got the correct ECU(and it cleared the codes) what part number is it(non immobilizer)? Did you have to change anything on the harness?
Or
Can any 1mz 1st gen solara/4th gen camrys that came stick and without an immobilizer post the PN of their ecu?
As of right now, i'm planning on just doing the resistor fix. I know it will work for the solenoids. But i'm not sure about that other weirdo planetary gear code. I would much rather just get the right ECU and be done with it.
Thanks.
