92 TSI AWD Tranny Problems

[Jakey]

Do you have another TCU that you can swap in?

No I don't, but my thought is that since my tranny temp light is on all the time that maybe it things the trans is overheating and is like tripping a circiut or something.?.? Do you know anyone who has a TCM i could like borrow or a way to reset mine?

I bet it is in safe mode/limp mode. It thinks there is a problem and doesnt let it function like normal to help prevent further damage. You will probably need a scan tool to see what is going on with it. If you can, find another TCU to swap in just for starters.

I have a buddie that owns a Tranny shop and he hooked up his snap-on red box and couldn't even get the car to comunicate with it. And i just pulled up at my buddies house and now none of the gears work! So i don't really know what i'm going to do i think i might just order some internals from IPT and build the trans but i don't know, either that or do a manual swap.

Does anyone have a TCU that i could borrow or know where i could find/buy one? I tried some of the local yards but none of them seem to have any 92 Autos. Does it matter what year for the auto, i know with the manuals they have the whole X-fer case spline issiue, but does that TCU have to match years?
