You can't put an fg trans into a bf etc cos the tcm is different. What codes are being shown? You can clear codes with a scan tool or tuning tool but I have a feeling that this isn't going to help here. @NA_TURBO loves getting his stuff relinked by ford. I'm sure he'll share his knowledge when he sees this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had to deal with that so someone else can confirm what you need to do. If it's tuned then you'll wanna make sure that the tune is still intact after or you'll be up the sh*t.

Not sure if Fraud is able to flash the TCM to your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you couldn't swap different models because the operating system was different. @rollex will know lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4321 Bronze Donating Members 257 Member For: 10y 8m 15d Posted 09/01/19 11:47 AM Share Posted 09/01/19 11:47 AM There's a white sticker on the side of the gearbox with a code on it. you have to have the same code on the new gearbox or it won't work .Only ZF can recode the megatronics unit, ford can't. If you can find the right gearbox you can (with the car on a hoist) plug the new gearbox into the car & check that you can clear the codes (the wires are long enough to reach the other gearbox) If your new gearbox is good the codes will clear & stay away. This takes the guess work out of 'will it fix it' before you go to all the trouble of fitting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
