This is strange to me, from what I have seen so far on this forum most people recommend sourcing an ecu from a manual car when swapping out trannies? I've even heard that I should make sure it's from a vct manual car if my car is vct - which it is..

So do I need a manual ecu or is this guy hoping to score a bit more cash by having me pay for a re-flash of the current auto ecu by him?

Not sure which way to go at this stage..
the minimum required is a resistor across the shifter wires equal to a neutral setting worth a few cents

reflashes are nice but it will be drivable without
