You can see in the service manual how they connect to the TCU. It's pretty straight forward.

I guess that the hope is that the plug is the same as other Mitsubishi transmissions. I left a message earlier, so I should be hearing back anytime now.

No, it's not even close. The mitsubishi auto trans before the SST used a TCU that was not integrated into the transmission and looked just like any other ECU, and was inside the cabin.

I figured that that was the case. That is how "normal" TCU's look. All I can do at this point is talk to this guy when he calls back.

My guess is that SSP has already spoken to a vast array of transmission experts, too. I don't expect this Hail Mary to be the ultimate fix. At this point, I am just gathering as much information as possible.

Fingers crossed for this to work out, somehow...Good luck. Looking forward to hearing your discoveries.

There are a number of people who I have yet to call. Someone will know how to crack this bastard...hopefully.

Continental routed me to this ECU/TCU hardware/software provider (ODX-Solutions aka Vector):

I'm now interested in researching these Getrag units too. Nothing bugs me more than when I can't locate information on something.

Wow the conti stuff looks VERY Similar to the TCU. Especially the circuit board.

If that is the case, then we are in business. Big thumbs up to omegis!

I will call BG again tomorrow. The Continental article referenced a "CANdito" servicing device that can read ROM flash files. If BG is familiar with such a device, which they very well might be, then we are in business.

I could go for some S-Sport and LC right about now.

That looks like development tools, and very expensive.
