I have swapped engines and transmissions and am running into some questions for someone that has done it. Please let me know if you have.

bike, based on that i dont think the 4afe pcm will contol the a245e trans at all. it'll goto its defaults if not plugged in, which is to sit in 4th gear with a unlocked torque converter. it'll move but you have to floor the pedal and wait about 20 miles to get to 10mph. -------------------- |

Which leads me back to why I need to get the 7A-FE ECM wired in. It would seem compatible with the engine and transmission, but needs whatever the wiring (and connector) is inside the body of the car. |
