ok so i think i have everything figured out. but just wanted to post up to see if anyone could think of anything that i forgot....

tranny
converter
shifter
dipstick
crossmember
driveshaft
computer....need a lil help here
fluid....A LOT!!
new trans mount even though my current mount is only bout a year old


i need some help on the computer part....cant figure out ed wrights name on here to pm him. would prob make him my first choice since he is in oklahoma too. but would like to know my options for using someone...and prices.

 

Do a search.. i did a complete write up on this exact thing. Just type in the search "This is whats needed for the 4l60e to th350 swap" It iwll tell you everything.

 

yea i have it book marked already.

i guess just lookin for a lil help on the computer side.

 

Oh ok then. As for me on my computer part i've got HPtuners and i deleted anything and everything that had to do with the ShittyE. Only problem i've got now is my hatch wont open bc the car doesn't know what gear its in bc the hatch will only open in neutral or park i believe.. All you need to do is ask your tuner to do this for you and im sure they know what to take out and stuff like that.

 

LOL, I was wondering why my hatch button doesnt seem to work anymore

 

ok....

well what happens if i dont get the computer tuned for the tranny? my car is a 94 so it IS obd1.

 

Nothing your check engine light will stay on all the time from trans codes for a trans thats not there. I have never understood this swap though a th350 is not substaintially stronger than a 4l60e in fact you would be amazed just how similar they are.

 

If its a 94 you wont even get a check engine light. I have had my TH400 in for over 1500 miles now and I did not change one thing in the PCM. Runs fine, no SES light. I do plan on getting all my little things done like deleting the auto trans stuff and changing for my 4.10s instead of 3.73s and a 28 inch tire instead of a 26 inch tire.
Bottom line is it will be fine to drive it without changing the PCM.
And we both know why your changing to an A3......good call in my opinion.

 

yep....i have ignored everyones comments.

and thats awesome news to hear. thats minimum 150 i get to spend elsewhere!!!
