The ONLY way you can control a 4R100 is with a PCM that came from a vehicle that originally came from Ford with a 4R100 - period.
You cannot mix & match PCM's among different automatic transmission with FoMoCo vehicles.
Now you CAN do things like put a manual transmission into any FoMoCo that had an automatic and changes things in the PCM so that it will work - it simply thinks the vehicle is in neutral all the time, basically.
But you CANNOT mix & match automatic transmissions - I.E., a 4R70 can only be controlled by a PCM from a vehicle that originally came with a 4R70 - same goes for 4R100, same goes for 4R75E, etc., etc.
This is how Ford delineates their PCM's, is by transmission type, in terms of the automatic transmission vehicles - you get a 4R100, you get a different PCM than you would if you had a vehicle with a 4R70, and so on.
So if you are going to change automatic transmission type, I.E., going from a 4R70W to a 4R100 - you will need to change the PCM & the harness, too.
