My TR is in limp mode (stuck in 2nd gear) After checking almost all things, doing a service etc we suspect the Transmission ECU. Does anyone know where its located on the TR???

Gregorys says its under the centre console but we cant find it ... thanks in advance .. x202brat

The computer might still have the error left in it, try disconnecting the battery for awhile, if that fails, take it to a mechanic who has a special computer they can plug it into and clear the error codes (mits dealer will have one).

Hi Smokey .. have looked everywhere in that area and cannot see any signs of an ECU at all.

yes, certain. 2 of us are looking and theres nothing behind the stereo that even resembles an ECU. Can see the main ECU behind the glovebox, but not this one. I wonder if some types combined the transmission ECU into the Main Engine ECU?

i would highly doubt there combined. try ringing mitsu and ask them. r there any panels behind the stereo? maybe the comps hidden behind there if there is?
