absolutely no check engine lights after the swap. Mine has been in now since 2020, i installed it during lockdown. (Probably took me on my own) 3 days start to finish with an engine hoist, a load leveller and a halfords professional socket set.

i have now got to change my gearbox but that is nothing to do with the mapping of the ecu, my gearbox was not great before the swap and i read all the comments about oil changing a high mileage gearbox and finally bit the bullet and done 4-5 oil changes, now wish i hadn’t .
i have a new box just waiting to get it on the ramps.
Not that hearing this now will help but A960's from 06 to 2015 can be used.

I wish there were a simple fix for paddle lag on the A760. I drove loaner 3IS AWD 350 with A760H trans, and they did fix it there. Of course the other gear box is the 8spd.

Enjoy... Ping me if you need any input on trans swap. I did them for many years. Be sure to flush heat exchanger and dump the TC, pan, and filter and you can start with all new fluid.

Not sure i want to swap out the oil on this box yet as i had nothing but issues on my old box after changing the oil.
