It would probably be better to change the actual Sol C map though. I've got some of it decoded but I haven't got my head around all of it yet.
I was curious, I'm not even sure a modification of the AWD map would make a difference as far as drivability or performance, it would likely only cause clutch durability and other problems. Plus, I lack the equipment required to experiment with it anyway, so I won't waste any more of your time on it I am more interested in how this solenoid thing comes out because I would like to fit a VTD tail section to my US trans, as I imagine the VTD car would drive far, far better. I have a glimmer of hope that it may be possible to do so with minimal other modification, even though a few months ago I thought this would be impossible.

I've been researching on my own to attempt to figure out why a solenoid change would have been made, and I can't figure out why they would change it like that. The different wire colors don't surprise me as they could have switched manufacturers, or sometimes the current manufacturer just decides to change the wire color for no reason. I've seen stuff like that happen before.
