the manual evo uses a completely different pinout and connector numbers then the lancer auto, , the gta uses almost the same as the manual evo , if someone has a copy of that pinout I think thats the key to this ,
Someone would have to disable the extra one gear in the wagon rom and I think it'd work

OK guys update.
There is a major problem trying to use the evo 8 rom on an auto. I have disassembled partially a volunteers rom and have discovered I think the reason I'm having so much trouble finding the auto transmission variables.
Its pretty simple, the rom isn't really 256kb in size its really 512kb like the evo 7 GT-A rom. So essentially I think the auto guys at this point could use the larger 512kb gt-a rom as previously suggested. I'll need to do some more research to figure out how that will work though shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Auto transmission guys I need someone to do an experiment for me.
Download and place this file into this folder.
C:\Program Files\OpenECU\EcuFlash\rommetadata\read templates
If you had ecuflash open close and reopen it. I need you to read the lancer rom again trying the new read method of 2002-2007 lancer a/t
It should produce a 512kb file. It shouldn't be dangerous to read the rom even if it fails. If this works I believe we can tap into the Evo 7 GTA rom or hack up an Evo 9 rom which is based off the evo 7 GTA to be used for turbo'ing the car

so do i just copy and paste it, then open my rom?
EDIT: oh and btw, if you try to read the lancer ecu thru evo 9, its gonna produce a 512kb rom.
EDIT 2: i used to have the "flashed" ecu before so its reading thru evo9/eclipse AT.
i tried it again with a normal ecu and it didnt work.
