I need to know whether a Subaru engine from an automatic donor SVX needs a
speedometer speed sensor to run in a manual Vanagon. KEP's catalog says you
don't need the autotrans computer. However Subaru mechanics here tell me
the engine management will be locked in limp-home mode without matching
factory computer and speed sensor.

I have found a wrech with a complete management system, just imported from
Japan, unfortunately from an automatic SVX (manuals are so rare as to be
essentially unobtainable).

I need the info quick, before someone else buys the bits.

Help!!
