Physically, possibly. But I would think it would require a re-program due to yours being a manual, and not an auto that it was use to.

My , get a tune on your current one..

Shouldn't break anything to try. Shifting would probably be exciting.

I was told after asking here that it wouldn't work because the Vin number from other car was burned into computer and I would have to have it retuned, is that true?

The VIN may make some options not work, but the engine should run. You WILL get a CEL for the crankshaft position sensor, it will need to be relearned (Tech2 or equivalent needed).

I think the gist of what is being said here by us, is just tune the one you have.
