I tried the simple thing of just unplugging the auto ECU but it causes a CAN error (might not be a problem really) and an "Immobiliser invalid key"
Just seeing if its feesable at the moment as i cant see any information about a 380 manual conversion anywhere. I asked a mitsubishi tech and they seemed to have no idea and said it is not possible because the engine and trans ECU are an all in one unit (not true as far as i can tell)

Do you know exactly what would be required (electrical and wiring side) I know a workshop with a mut3
Sorry...have never done one or know of anyone brave enough to attempt it.
having said that, a good electrician will do it.....but, you are better off buying a manual 380....in terms of cost (not the passion...LOL)
I bought a 380 wreck at pickles auctions for under 3 grand....a manual VRX with a brand new engine in it....only cost 4k to bring it back on the road....

Thanks for the info. Just that my auto isnt the best and it also has a fair bit of play/backlash (have checked out the cv's and they are fine).
If it was a simple thing like a magna i would of just got all the manual stuff and do a conversion but it seems nobody has done it.
Manual Conversion?
