Every time i try and read on this subject i find people swearing to both sides, as in yes the 1g has a lock up coverter, and no it doesn't. .
So my question is can someone say definitively one way or the other. .. if its not a locking converter, then where does over drive come from??
I just bought a complete donor car and am about to swap to auto and I'm trying to learn as much as i can.
Going to pull my TCU tomorrow and see if it's EEPROM so i can flash it, I'm going a little over board as i plan to retain every single write, light, and function of the auto install right down to the dome light temp warning and the shifter lock out on the brake pedal. ..
This donor car has been great so far, it's had everything i need to get my cruise control, rear defroster and every other little annoyance fixed.
Since I'm pulling the dash to swap since mines cracked, that's when i decided I'd go ahead and keep every possible feature associated with the auto setup. ..i just how i like it afterwards and done have to swap the 5 speef stiff back in to enjoy myself.
