I have done a swap like this with different transmissions. They WILL WORK what I done was change the loom if 1 was 12 pin and 1 was 13 pin, and used the memcal that suited the trans and all was good

Sounds like a massive fcuk around. Why wouldnt you just get the box thats suited to your car.

^^^agreed.Why go to all the trouble of swapping over the wiring loom etc, when you can just fit the same box that suits your model.Pfff..Its not like these auto boxes are rare..

It was for my stepbrother and he had already brought a smashed car and that was the box that was in it.

Lol massive #### around?? How long do you think it would be to flip off 1 engine loom for another and replace 1 memcal with another????


The post was made just to point out that it can be done if you had another box there and was stuck in a jam
