    Default Autobox replacement , anyone done one ?

    Have any of you guys replaced an autobox in the vec c ? mines the 3.2 .
    The only reason I ask is I'm hearing conflicting reports on whether you can just put another box in and it will plug and play , some say it wont recognise the ecu etc ?
    Any feedback would be appreciated.
    This has been going on for ages now , so I need to get it sorted thx.

    No idea, but I would imagine a TECH2 session would be needed, as the auto box is all electronically controlled.

    ecu on the auto box is seperate from the box ..it lives next to the battery you can fit a new box and it will start and run fine ...

    Cheers benny , It's just that I've been told by a guy who rebuilds the boxes that they are very tempremental and sometimes won't play ball.
    He might just be trying to put the frighteners on me though I think.
    Have you actually done a swap ?

    Well I've got a box from a saab 93 in mine and the ecu recognises the box just fine. Not had chance to test drive it yet tho and clear the old fault codes
