No. At least to the best of my knowledge and or logical thinking. An automatic computer is setup to govern the engine based on that same computer being the one to shift the gears. The two computers are worlds different. If you've ever looked into getting a performance chip, there's a reason they ask you what kind of transmission you have because different computers run completely different software.
