No lol. A Standalone ecu usually works with manual trans only due to the communications between auto the TCM and ECU.

Really?

Our Autotrans would need a supra stick controlling the auto trans.... If one was using a standalone that did not support the auto trans....

I'll go FSM diving when I have the time again to show you, as long as we don't have traction control the TCU-ECU communications are pretty simple.

Worst comes to worst they can sell a MS standalone TCU, which works out better since Autos are stuck shifting @ like what 6200 rpms?

Sorry to back out now, but I just got an old Nissan Z31, so that's where I'm spending my extra money. As such, I probably won't be able to afford to test this ECU anytime soon.
