Engine swap 1.6L 4A-FE to 1.8L 7A-FE, Anyone done it? Options

I have swapped engines and transmissions and am running into some questions for someone that has done it. Please let me know if you have.

bike, based on that i dont think the 4afe pcm will contol the a245e trans at all. it'll goto its defaults if not plugged in, which is to sit in 4th gear with a unlocked torque converter. it'll move but you have to floor the pedal and wait about 20 miles to get to 10mph.

Which leads me back to why I need to get the 7A-FE ECM wired in. It would seem compatible with the engine and transmission, but needs whatever the wiring (and connector) is inside the body of the car.

But what's wrong with your 4AFE tranny? If there's nothing wrong with it... there is no problem. The 4AF trans does fit on the 7AFE if you swap flexplates. It's not all that complicated... and I think that's where your fitment issues are. The whole ordeal of messing with wiring isn't worth something mechanical.
