Hello. I wanted to ask a question about converting the ECU 3.2 auto to manual. I have spoken with my opel workshop to do it but they have never done it and they do not know how to do it. They say they will enter my chassis number but it will appear that it is a 2.6, will I need a number of 3.2? Could tell me in which areas of tech2 would you have to go to configure it and explain it? They tell me to try but they don't guarantee anything
Thanks

It's a box tick in the menu.

In what menu? It is easy? Doesn't matter if you insert my chassis number? I have to chew it on them because they have no idea and they will charge me the same if they don't ...

[Doctor Gollum]

You can change the transmission type as part of activating  cruise control. This tells the ecu the type of transmission fitted. It should then sort itself out from there.

You will need to have the clutch switch fitted but the wiring should be present.

Ops, If my car is manual, I won't have the clutch wiring, right? 
Now that I think about it, you mean the clutch sensor for cruise control, that I do!
The chassis number then, does not influence? Will you treat it normal despite having the 3.2 ECU?

[Doctor Gollum]

It should be factory fitted as part of the dash loom regardless of gearbox type.

If not, easy to wire in. Positive feed and ground.

Can't off hand recall which way around... Either from the engine ecu to ground or it grounds through the engine ecu.

Be some detail in the retrofit cruise guide.

It brought the pre-installation of the cruise control, connect the lever and the pedal sensor but do not activate it because it does not have tech2, but in theory it is ready to work. Would that be enough?

Needs activating

Needs activating

I activate the speed control and then can I select the type of transmission?

They're two steps of the same process

The only caveat is that the clutch switch must be fitted and there must be no autobox wiring connected to the engine ecu.

The manual engine harness includes the reverse light switch so you'll need to swap that from the autobox loom. (This isn't critical for getting the gearbox updated, but is potentially a legal requirement.)

So when saving the speed control configuration it would be converted to manual?

If my car is already manual, all that does not affect me I understand

[Doctor Gollum]

Correct.

For clarity:

Are you making your manual 2.6 a manual 3.2?

Correct.

Are you making your manual 2.6 a manual 3.2?

Yes 

[Doctor Gollum]

Then if they go to cruise control in the 3.2 engine ecu using Tech 2 and make sure that the transmission is confirmed as manual, that should suffice 

TheBoy/Kevin Wood will be able to give more details about   navigating Tech 2, but the gear box choice is literally checking a box
