Spoofing the TCM
iansane
Now for the questions: when you installed the manual trans, did you have any issues in the installation, do you have any photos you can share? The ZF6-53 has the same dimensions as the auto trans, but experience is better than theory. Did you use new flywheel bolts or existing (the flywheen thickness needs to be considered)? Did the transmission tail mounts work without any modifications? You said you shorened the shifting linkage about 4 inches, in the XK8 the engine and trans are about 4 inches more forward than the StypeR because the XK8 was designed for the Aston Martin V12 of the DB7, looks like no cutting is required. How did you mount the shift linkage tail mounting bracket to the chassis? Im sure you pluged of removed the transmission cooler. Where did you connect your electronic module into the CAN bus? Do you know of a way to check the manual synchro before installing into the car? Any additional thoughts would be appreciated before I open the XK8 would be helpful. I will share the code once everything is working, so you can do the same although the StypeR CAN addresses will have to be considered.

The module you have described sounds amazing. You're obviously better at coding than I am. Unfortunately, I've let this project fall by the wayside while I build other cars. It's still an amazing car to drive, would just be better with proper programming. I look forward to hearing how your module turns out.
I'll look through my pictures to see if I have any of the install.
