On your car the trans computer doesnt exist. The trans control is built into the main ecu. so there is no way you are missing anything. he most likely did not complete the wiring or did not do it right. I would look up conversion harnesses or find a new shop.

Also make sure the ecu you got with your swap was for a auto trans.
