Hi everyone my ECU took a dump on me and I'm trying to find a new one, I have a 95 GT Manual. I wanted to know if an Auto ECU will work if its a manual or do I need to find the manual one?

in my celica i had a ridiculously hard time just getting the center console out. What I ended up doing is popping off the cover around the radio and the other piece that goes around the shifter, then cutting the two thin plastic pieces in half so I could split the two halves of the center console. You won't be able to notice where it was cut once you put it all back together because the piece around the radio covers it. The pieces that I'm talking about are right in the middle of where the radio and A/C controls go. Once that is cut and the screws are undone that hold it in you can take out one or both of the sides of the center console and it is easier to get to the ECU. Then it's just a matter of getting to the screws that hold it in.

If you don't want to cut the center console in half you will probably have to take out the center armrest as well as one of the seats, and then pull the console out that way. Either way, it's hard to get to the ECU.
