      • Have to disagree on must be 93-97 as I have just completed MTX conversion using a November 91 tagged MX-6 as a donor car and the results are outstanding awsome close ratio's and the only thing I had to modify was the brake pedal, it needed a stop added to it.

        • Funny, I needed to make a stop on my pedal assembly too and it was pulled from an mx-6. The stoplight switch was different but the pedal assembly accepted the one from the ATX probe no problem, I just had to make a stop out of silicone to get it to work right.

              • Nice info. So there is no need to swap the ecu's out?

                • not really no it will run fine without swapping the ECU but the OD light will be on for sure.

                  • 97 GTS MTX swap

                    I've been wanting to swap my trans for a while now and discovered a guy on Craigs list who had a complete setup (engine, trans, computer, & all associated components) to do the conversion. Figured on rebuilding the engine and swapping the whole works at once. He declared it to be a 97 but once I got it home where I could access the internet and look up the numbers I discovered it was a 94.
                    So now I guess I need to find a KLG2 computer as the KL07 and KL48B he gave me wont work in my obdII probe.
                    What I'm wondering is if there's any way to pull this off with my existing automatic ecu?
                    I can deal with the neutral safety switch, backup lights, etc.. but I'm afraid it will throw a code since the ecu monitors the automatic transmission. It will not pass inspection if the CEL is lit.
                    Has anybody successfully done this? I know I can buy a KLG2 on eBay for another $175 but I've already sunk way more money into this car than it's worth and I'd like to stop the bleeding.
                    Thanks........

                    • I'm running the auto ecu in my car and it's throwing 8 codes, four related to the engine and 4 related to the missing automatic transmission sensors. Before the swap there wasn't a single code. I'm going to invest in an mtx ecu as soon as I can get my car out of storage

                        Thanks for the reply! That's exactly what I was afraid of.
                        Looks like I'll have to bite the bullet and buy the right ECU..

                        Thanks.........

                          That sucks, I just remembered that with my 94, the ATX ECU is separate. With the ODBII having everything integrated, make sense to swap the ecu for a mtx
