Nope....you will need at least Vol-fcr.
Ecu M4.3 is practically obdI since it still produce flash codes along with ecc.
Other modules are fully OBDII including transmission.

From what I read above you have an auto trans (4-speed auto). I believe you have change the valve bodies possibly or do you mean the clutch plates in the trans itself?

How did you change the oil in the transmission? We always recommend you never use a machine and power flush these older cars as it tends to loosen the old dried oil from the inside of the casing and it gets into the valve bodies and clogs the valves which make the gears slip or not work at all.

What transmission oil did you use?

Do you have the owners handbook with the car? I believed the correct oil for your transmission is Dex3 not 2.
