Just curious, if you just put in a complete manual transaxle, shifter, clutch and cables and left out the sensors and the rest of the wiring crap wouldn't you just get a no lean burn insight that doesn't shutoff and have a cel?

Trans sensors (5ish or something)
Part of the harness that hooks up to those sensors

And since you'll be swapping in a manual trans ECU might as well hook up the Lean Burn stuff so
LAF sensor
New cats with the right ports
Extra bits of harness

IMO too much work and $$ to be worthwhile unless you have most of the stuff on hand or you could pick up a parts car cheap
