gents

I have been fortunate enough to get a five speed conversion with 120 klms on it. I have also been supplied the computer for it.
The box is an ed for eb11.
Does anyone know if it is necessary to change the computer coming from the auto?

Cheers
Shane

Mate, good job on making the change!
It will not need a new gearbox computer.
However, my understanding is that the serII and on combine the gearbox computer with the engine computer.
Have a look, if there is a box comp. under the instrument cluster then you can use your old comp. If not, you will need a manual comp., which you have anyway.

I mean i was supplied a ed manual computer to take the place of the one in your passenger kick panel. Atleast it looks like that one

Depending on if your car is smartlock. If it is then itll work, If not then It wont. The ed will be a smartlock computer.

I donno about the EA-EDs because they have a seperate computer for their autos.....but the EF-on use the same computer for the engine and 'box....so i know you have to change the computer in an EF-on but I'm not sure about the EA-ED....just change it anyway :)

I was told by the guy who programmed my chip that I can keep my comp when/if I put in a manual...

Mine it series II pre-smartlock (The good one IMO)
