I'm afraid I'll say no dice on this because the auto has a bunch of stuff in the way of junk on the board that does the lockup, to me it seems akin to a vtec conversion but Iono how to do it, anyway, you can't only have one lockup, you'll code if you run the auto ecu in the car. Just run manual and run constant power to the lockup on the tranny.

ok i'll run ign power to it but if my car crashes though the gararge wall or my tranny falls out at 70 mph on the freeway, i'm holding u responsable as helga is my DD and i cant afford to lose her.

what kinda current are we talking about? 1/2 an amp?

I say the best bet is to find an automatic ECU. I'm sure you can get one for around $30 or so. Do you want me to keep an eye out for an auto pm6?
