S14 Tranny - Crankshaft Position Sensor

[180PWR]

Alright im gearing up to do my S14 kouki auto to manual swap, and I noticed that nobody EVER mentioned a crankshaft position sensor.
I have an S13 tranny which I KNOW doesnt have this part...

Is this needed for the car to start or is it just more OBDII boolshat that will throw a CEL ?

From what i have heard, the car won't start without it....but i have heard people say that it doesn't make a difference.... Some people told me that you might need to drill into the S13 bell housing in order to custom mount the sensor......I apologize because i didn't answer your question, but hopefully someone can pont the right direction.

i put the s13 tranny into my s14.... it works just fine... youll be fine... trust me...

i didnt install the crankshaft sensor... its a tool... it doesnt have anything to do with engine controle...

S14 FSM says "The sensor is not directly used to control the engine system. It is used only for the on-board diagnostic of mis-fire."

Starts and runs fine without it. Mine needs to be replaced, so it throws a CEL.

Right. I have an S13 tranny in my S14 as well. I do get a MIL because of OBD, but thats it.
