So my new Wolfsburgs got the 2 VW curses, 1 of them is its an Auto, and the other is its Gas. Well one of the things I want to change is the automatic part of it, I located the Transmission Control Unit and followed the cables back to the transmission, nothing of it goes to the cars ECU that i can see. If I converte the car to a 5 speed, I have everything I need to do it. Will I need to change my cars ECU??? I know this is a diesel forum but the vortex i find is kinna useless for this kind of stuff.

What year is it?


If it's pre 95 or OBD1 I dont think you will have a problem.

i think its only the vw 4 speed auto's that have the electronic crap.

Its à 98, and the local shop told me to remove the tcu, and they will reprogram the ecu for 30 bucks to run the standard tranny
