buying 9xx advice+tranny Q 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Csaba Vandor on  Sun Apr 10 15:32 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hello,

I am considering replacing my 245Ti with a 945T/965.
I love the 245, but it is 21 years old and has many little things it needs like most older cars. I'd like something newer that I don't have to thinker with so I can spend my time restoring other cars.
Is the 965 as troublesome as it seems? It am leaning toward a 945T because of the tunability of the turbo engine and a generally simpler design.
My main question is wether on any 940/960's does the transmission interact with the engine ECU? Whatever I buy I would convert to manual transmission, so I'd like to know if the ECU or OBD 1/2 interacts with the tranny to where a conversion to manual is not possible.
I already have a M46 with the P-type OD and I have sources in Europe where I can find the interior trim for the conversion.
Thanks in advance,

Csaba in Texas, USA
'84 245Ti, B23ET, M46, etc....
and lots of Fiats...
