6spd Conversion: specific questions

#1.) VSA - is there anything special that needs to be done to enable you to keep VSA? Is there really a reason why I should NOT keep it? (assuming nothing extreme needs to be done to keep it)

#2.) e-brake - I know I'll be using the CL-S e-brake assembly, but in all the pics/threads I've seen, I don't see how to convert the TL-S FOOT e-brake to the center-console e-brake.

I also meant to ask if these "Richie Modules" are still being made...?

I dont know if the VSA will work with the manual. With the auto, the auto trans has the ability to go to a neutral state, the manual trans cant.

as for the E brake, disconnect the cable under the center console and connect it to the hand brake and remove the foot brake.

Ah, ok. So 6spd swap = lose VSA.

ok, the e-brake conversion sounds easy enough. Thanks man.

I believe richie still makes the modules, but I think the AEM standalone is the module with tuning capabilities. If anyone can confirm this, I'll sell you my module
