As far as i know the TCU is inbuilt with the ECU. Unlike the earlier model falcons and commodores in which were seperate units.

the mechanic at mitsubishi said theres two seperate computers under the centre console
one for the engine and the other transmission. he took out the battery for 5 to 10 mins so the computers had to learn everything again once back in the transmission was still playing up he said its more than likely the transmission computer ???? :nuts:

What a dumb mechanic then! The Tranny computer is built into the ECU.

sounds possibly ecu related.....can you take off a side panel and check the part no for me and when i go into work ill check the part number and as to weather the ecu is an old school part number which needs to be revised as there was concearns of this back in the te hey day.
