Mechanically speaking, everything goes together and fits as if it were factory. However; the same cannot be said about engine and transmission communication. I have considered getting a Haltech 1500 and going from there, but I want to try and keep the OE computer #broke_college_student.
With all this in consideration, the current transmission is CVT, but I would like to convert any and all configurations to replicate if there were a manual in its place. I understand that there is a LOT of oversight on my end but it does have an option for manual transmission on the software. I've seen on other threads where people have discussed similar topics for GM's and that there is a lot more on the back-end that HP doesn't have access to; would this also be the case for myself? If so, what should I look into next?
I get that is is a big can of worms but I'm open to learn as much as possible and look forward to you guys' insight!
