If thats the case you have to go to the dealer who is going to charge w.e. the hourly rate is to program it and they might refuse to even touch it if you replaced the module yourself and then brought the car to them. You’ve had a couple of these, you know what the shell and other parts are worth, just low ball the shit out of the guy. Im pretty sure its just plug and play, I replaced the ecm on my old talon I think there located in the same spot, just unplug and replug in… The wierd shit is that the tcm was actually out of the car and the car still ran? Even broken I thought it still needed to be plugged in but I guess not? Half of what hes asking if prolly the most im gonna get outta the guy lol and thats only becuase i ended up knowing the kid. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/transmission-or-tcm-on-91-talon-tsi-auto/259392)._
