I just replaced my trans recently, finally back on the road after almost a year of dragging my feet. I've still got an odd and very intermittent Christmas tree of lights where it'll show parking brake, traction control, etc errors but it still keeps driving at least so vs before where it'd force itself into Park and/or failsafe and do nothing. You'll have to have the Mechatronics coded (cost me an extra $150 at a friends shop) if you don't reuse your old one. I'll take the Zip Kit if you don't reuse it in your replacement trans.
