Transmission swap

I have a honda civic with the paddle shifters and the transmission is acting up after scanning it I got 4 codes ,
so I was wondering if I could just swap the transmission with one from a honda civic that don't have the paddle shifters?? Let me know of that's going to work because I can't find a fix for it ...

Re: Transmission swap

take to a shop first, who knows if it will work? could be something simple as well.
Is winter where you are? Rodents tend to go in the engine bay (warmer) and chew wires while they nest there
or salt/humidity messing with your wiring

Re: Transmission swap

the controls for paddle shifter can be different than the normal trans, you might need to change the PUC as well, and that is costly too
ABs and BCM also indicates electrical or electronics issues. Is your battery good? are your battery connections and grounds good? remove them clean and test again

Re: Transmission swap

The battery is good. i just put a xspower D5100 battery in there ..you think the bcm error can cause the transmission to act up ??

Re: Transmission swap

The battery is fine I checked it. the car has no problem starting plus I have a voltage meter in the cigarette light that reads 13.9 when the car is runing and 12.8 when it off .. so I really don't know what's going with the car
