Really? The TCU lives inside the gearbox. If they did 'bench' it they would have needed to first remove the gearbox, remove the TCU then bench it, re-install the TCU and re-install the gearbox.

If this is the case then its the only dealer I've ever heard of doing it, plus dealers dont have the facility to bench the TCU unless they made something up, again I'd love to know what exactly.

Chances are they just re-programmed the TCU insdie the car with the MUT3. Seems muce more logical.

i really have no idea, since i was not on the site...

i heard from my friend that he was seeing the dealer pulling a lot things apart, but he doesn't have any idea what those things are. he is the owner of the car, but he doesn't know much about it ...

it's about different cars.

the tranny oil question is for my own car. and this is for a friend's car which i helped to tune.

anyway, this problem is solved, thank god. the dealer found a technician who actually did a tcu bench flash ...

this confirms that one IS able to bench flash a bricked TCU, but i was not there on the site, so didn't figure out how ...

so that dealer tech maybe a japanese or german.

Has anything ever came out of this because I was sitting in the parking lot 2010 r/a And transmission service required started dinging it automatically put my car into neutral. I was able to drive it home perfectly fine with every single gear working with the hand shifters and I had a hard time getting it into park and once I got it in the driveway now I have basically the same code as what this guy is saying, but my car is physically locked into park and it will not allow me to do anything besides started revs up fine everything is fine I just cannot get the car out of park .. but the shifter felt very sketchy right before it happened so I’m kind of assuming it’s in the actual shifter but either way, I’m scared to take it to the Steeler ship for them just to try to tell me I need a new transmission that I drove 18 miles perfectly fine downshifting end up shifting…..
