    5 Speed. I have no idea what you are referring to about the ME and the ECU.

    It's a 96'.

    Has all my original 5-speed conversion parts. I may have a recipt for the transmission somewhere, it has very low miles.

    Ah did you buy the car already fitted witht he 5 speed?

    I think ME is "Motronic", the ME ie ME1, ME2.0 ME2.1 ME2.8 etc refers to the model/software of bosch ECM used.

    How do you find the 5 speed?

    I will look. I know the clutch/flywheel has -7,000 miles.

    I hope you realize what you have here! It took months to gather those drivetrain parts from overseas!

    The manual conversion you have is what I originally put together, then later sold off because I went with a 6-speed setup with totally new gearbox. I sold my car (huge mistake) and it was wrapped around a tree shortly after.

    I am telling the Moderators that your post is ok. Normally, we do not allow people to sell under 50 posts. In your case, I am making an exception.
