Hello all,
Retired auto tech here… 33 yrs under my belt at various indy shops and dealerships. Didn’t do much work on jags but a car is a car in my head…
A friend of a friend has a '97 XK8 on which the dealer says the trans computer is faulty. They say they unable to source a new/remanufactured unit. They will not install a used unit. They are plentiful in my quick search on car-part.com and eBay.
My question to the knowledgeable here:
Can a used unit from one car be transferrable to another? Will there be any VIN mismatch problems making the swap useless? I am aware the VIN break for the TCU and this is a later model.
TIA for your knowledgeable input!
