The code I got was a tranny hear ratio problem which sounds like the ECM is not compatible with the tranny if I change it would I have a problem with the engine computer talking to the tranny computer

The gear ratio codes and display PRND - lead to limp mode events and transmission replacement. One might be lucky to find onother solution, hardly any data..
