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?

Mine has never been that difficult. I removed the center console and then removed the 10mm bolts that hold the mounting brackets, then pulled it out with the brackets still attached.

The center console puts up a fight the first time but is easy after that. Just take your time, make sure you remove all the screws, then pull. If I recall correctly, it's 2 12mm bolts under the arm rest, a few screws under the shift and radio bezel, then a couple of screws on the sides. The arm rest needs to come completely out and but the glove box and panel in front of the driver's legs can be gently pried out of the way. I think the a/c controls need to come out as well. It sounds complicated but once you see it and do it, it can be done in just a few minutes.
