Personaly if I buy it I'm hoping I wont have to do the swap but I'm just preparing myself for a worst case scenario!!

Actually, If I remember right, HDDP has not been able to complete his due to work assignments.

He also used a Bosch unit to bypass the car's PMC so the car would run. It's my understanding that the electronics "marry" the engine to the transmission. Basically they are a complete set, and don't play without each other.
