But probably isn't if you swapped them over. Edited 11/05/18 02:11 PM by Puffwagon Changed a word or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it works fine in the other car. I had some fluid spill out of the convertor when I took it out and thought nothing of it. Just read up that to fill the convertor you hold 2000rpm for 30seconds? Tried that but no change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tcm isn't initializing then you'll need to find out why. Is it hardware or software related? I don't know enough about it to recommend a course of action off the top of my head but it can't be too hard to figure out. Maybe other members will have some idea of what's going on.

woz84 Member 33 Member For: 11y 22d Gender: Male Posted 12/05/18 04:26 AM Share Posted 12/05/18 04:26 AM At first I thought it was software but from my research it might be hardware related. I may have damaged the oil pump alignment tabs on install as I had to pry apart the box from the engine to move the loom that got caught under the coolant temp sensor but I left the converter bolted up to the flex plate when I did this. I have a third spare ZF sitting in my shed so will just install that one or maybe just change the oil pump. Will report back sometime next week.

It'll be interesting to see what is happening, how it happened and if possible how to avoid it in the future. Good luck with it mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woz84 Member 33 Member For: 11y 22d Gender: Male Posted 14/05/18 04:40 PM Share Posted 14/05/18 04:40 PM (edited) Busy day today, reluctantly removed the box and as suspected I fuked the pump ring gear when I had to pry apart the box from the engine to pull the caught loom away. Probably would've noticed the wedged loom if I had a hoist and not doing it on my back with 2 car jacks and bits of timber . Anyway I installed the other zf I had sitting around and the car is running great. Haven't driven it for a while as I rebuilt the turbo and was mucking around with this issue so it's good to be back on the road again. Still need to swap the mechatronics around as it currently has a ZF tune on this TCM that is meant for the other box and I just want the factory tune in mine.

woz84 Member 33 Member For: 11y 22d Gender: Male Posted 17/05/18 08:59 AM Share Posted 17/05/18 08:59 AM Mechatronics swapped around so running the standard ZF tune now. Just need my tuner @ jdtuning to re enable the torque tags and should be all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
