Unplug the TCU. You don't have to do anything else.

Re: chek engine-38-
 

i done that during the swap, but do you know if i have to tap in the ecu a wire to remove the cel?

Re: chek engine-38-
 

I never had that problem with my swap so I didn't bother doing it but this is from Huck369's write-up:

Re: chek engine-38-
 

ok thanks for the information, im gonna try this!

Re: chek engine-38-
 

And this has to be done Y. What if it is not done ? What will happen ? I have to check and see if mine was done.

Re: chek engine-38-
 

This does not need to be done. It is something leftover from the early days of 5mt swaps that turned out not to be necessary.

Just remove/unplug the TCU (and sell it to some fool with an auto).

OP: what year is your car? Must be OBD 1 since the code is a small number like 38. A 96 or 97 cannot have an MT without throwing a CEL with the stock ECU.

That's the one that went head-to-head with Henry's Model B! 24hp sure packs a wallop! :lol:

I'll give credit towards a Stage1Av1 for an AWD SVX TCU.

I'll let you know. Any chance you could hook me up with some of the fancy aluminum bearings you used to sell?
