Default Guys with Manual Conversion/ Eliminating the TCM

So, since I'm having a tough time getting anywhere with the TCM reprogramming for the Axle Ratio change, I'm starting to seriously consider going the standalone TCM route as they can be had for the same cost as some outfits claiming they can retune out TCM's. That way I can mess with all parameters on my own and to my liking.


My only problem is, how can we reprogram/fool the ECU to not miss the TCM?

I was thinking about messing with the linear switch to make the TCM think it's in neutral all the time but than wouldn't the rev limiter at 3000rpm be on all the time?

You should just contact Phil @ Eurotek & get the TCM reprogrammed. Then you can fully enjoy your car.

So, since I'd really like to get the EGS52 into the car I picked up a 2010 722.6 from a Dodge Challanger. I'm going to tear it up to see how the valvebody looks like. Hopefully it's got the famous bluetops.

They were AMG. And I guess chrysler uses their own clutchpacks. No bluetop for chrysler.

Well, I finally touched base with Phil.... It's gotta be a hell of a tune as they quoted me $2450.00 for the TCM ratio change.
