don't need to change the g/b ecu.  And they never fail. Unless your name is Unlucky Alf.

Nope.

Well, they are programmed with engine type, but not box type.

Oh right...so changing the box would in fact be bad as the car would then think it has a 3.0 engine when it only has a 2.5??

if you changed ecu and engine type was different, ecu needs to be reprogged to match the fitted engine type
