To be clear. I am sorry for confusion. Two different things going on here. I did not mean to imply the lack of an aspirator was the cause of the ABS light being illuminated. I am however making a claim that the booster will not have enough vacuum to operate properly under wide open throttle without the aspirator assembly.

I have had several people tell me that the check valve system from a stick will work fine with auto swap. I will call roush tech and ask them, they are pretty good.

Sounds good man. Let me know how it works out. It probably would have been easier to sell your car and locate an auto car.

Just go into module programming and then select program module initialization and then ABS. Follow the instructions on the screen. On a new ABS module you need to initialize the YAW sensor, too. Different menus, but once IDS completed the PMI it will tell you.

I ordered my new 14 GT with a 6R80. Incredibly good tranz. Especially after a BAMA V2 tune. Shifts are very firm and precise as well as down shifts.

Mine is all done now with no more fault lights. I use a vmp tune with my tvs. I like the way it shifts, but it is too cold to put down much power with stock tires

I got the brake fluid reservoir from the auto so didn't need to plug the port. I had a shop do the swap and can't answer other questions

Does the trans cooler go inside near the fans? I have the roush tvs supercharger and does not look like it would fit anywhere...Is their a way to tell what gear the transmission is in so it matches with the shifter? Thx

Nevermind, done with the install

I pmi auto pcm with my vin. Then tried the abs pmi.

I asked if they still have the abs from vehicle, waiting to hear back. So if i get that one, i just install abs and then pmi my pcm with donor car vin?
