thread jacking, manual swapping is not as difficult as some may believe. Im working on something to share with you guys who are interested. Give me a bit of time. I will share what im doing. Nothing super secret or anything, I just don't like sharing until I know for sure that it will work. For a fact, ive swapped my engine ecu with a manual trans ecu, programmed it and verified everything will crank and run. I even have push button start and it worked fine . next will be wiring up a few wires (clutch switch, reverse and neutral signal) and all the mechanical parts to be swapped.
but to the op, it will work, you need to swap interior harnesses., ac box, main body ecu and a few other minor things to make it " factory"
I get on CarMax, pull vins of certain cars, then pull up my online parts catalog and see whats different between my particular car ( R.S 2.0), and the car im trying to swap something from. Im sure most don't have enough resources to do this, but theres other ways to check parts. Gotta get creative
I understand personally, that selling and buying the one you want, isn't always an option. So, make it what you want. Just remember its usually more work than plug and play.
