Can someone answer this

I posted a message here a while back about my 1990 eclipse, and ive tried just about everything and no go, it still wont start, and a guy who lives down the road from me has the exact same make and model eclipse as mine, same engine size, except he has a automatic transmission and mine is a manual... he said he had the same problem, and he bought a motoguy rebuilt ECU for his and it solved his problem, but now he wants to part out his eclipse after someone rear ended him, and he said i could get the ecu off of him if i wanted it, and i just wanted to know does the transmission types matter if everything else is the same... thanks for your help

yes, the transmission type would matter

There are different ECU's for the auto and manual cars.
