Yes, you can use his on your car. Sorry I couldn't reply to your last email quicker. If he's got different gears, your speedo will be off, but at least you'll be able to tell if the PCM is the problem.

It will start with either one, but the speedo will be WAY off with the 6 speed PCM and your tranny won't shift right. But, you can use it for testing the RPM/codes/whatever.
If you want to use it permanently, you need to have it reflashed with a4 code.
