Sideshow,
The 4 speed and 5 speed auto computers are part of the engine ECU, but in the 6 speed ZF the ECU is defiantly in the valve body. Electronicaly there is nothing anyone can do to these gear box(even switched on auto sparkys) as ZF are the only people with the correct software to access the auto computer.
Unless the unwanted computers are switched off in the ECU the vehicle won't start without them. When the ignition is switched on the main ecu communicates with all the on board computers for a system check. If any of the on board computers are not on line the car won't start.
Nathan,
There are companies in Melbourne like Blue Power Devopments (

http://www.harrop.com.au/) that might be worth taking to as well.
