Please do not try this you must bang/notch the area where the tranny goes for clearence and there is no correct ecu for you to run this swap in your car....It would be a hella night mare...there are other sites that you can see why NOT to do an auto swap into a 97 and an auto to manual conversion is very simple to do once you collect the necessary parts...sans the pedal switch over (PITA) thats really the hardest part to the 5 speed conversion. just my 2 cents.
