Finishing up the mechanical bits of my 2007 auto to manual swap, and now focusing on the electrical. I thought this would be a little more straightforward than it is, basically no one is willing to touch the PCM. What have you guys done? Right now it just throws the solenoid and TC codes, and puts it into limp mode at around 3k rpm, from what I know having it wired to see "park" all the time is also going to cause issues with carbon buildup over time with the different fuel map for idle/park vs drive.
I've been trying to buy a manual PCM (if anyone with a 2007 4.0 five speed wants to bless me with their VIN I would be eternally thankful), but it also seems a lot of people change the whole wiring harness - is that really necessary? Trying to avoid that at all costs, especially with PATs.
Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated!
