yea, the Autos use a separate computer to control them. I've been looking into the possibilities of using an Auto. the older TCUs are fairly simple, and wouldn't be too hard to make work in a standalone form. I suspect the same would be true for a newer one.
Axles are the same 25-spline stubs as a manual. linkage is easier....just a cable. problem would be, neutering it to FWD. The AWD system is very different in an auto than a manual. the center diff eliminator for a 5MT would not work. However, when the transfer clutches in an auto go out, you loose the rear drive, but the front still works fine.....so it might not be too hard to block off the rear output, and disable the transfer clutches. Or just cut power to the Duty C solenoid so it locks them and the TCU just thinks your on dry pavement all the time. |
