On the later models, there is no lever on top of the computers in the box. You have to take the "sides" of the box off by taking out a screw on the rear corner toward the engine and prying back the clips at the bottom on all sides. once the box is off, you will see pink slides at the base of each computer. Push the slides toward the front of the car...both sides of the TCU and wiggle the unit out of the plug. Be sure not to touch the pins and reinstall carefully. One other thing to try before you pull the computer. On the strut tower, drivers side, right behind the air cleaner, is a ground connection. It's a 10mm bolt. Take it off and clean it. I take some sandpaper and remove the paint from the contact point on the strut tower. This is the signal ground for the computers. I have had some success curing strange problems by just cleaning the ground connections. Good Luck

Two new codes for me to think about. In the pre 2001 cars, the TCU was on the driver's side, close to the air cleaner box, and the ECU/EFI was in the computer box on the passenger fender. Where they put the TCU in 2001 is beyond me.

Open the computer box on the pass side and take a look. They are labeled. The modules do come out if you want to look on the bottom contact side, just in case a worm crawled in. Don't touch the contacts with bare fingers, the oil will come off your clean finger tips.

A junk yard will have a used TCU or ECU at a reasonable cost. What bothers me is the 'clutch position' error when you don't have a clutch.
