[Hose-B]

I'm looking for a pcm to complete a 5-speed swap, reman. ones are like $154 will bite the bullet if I have to but wanna see if I can get one cheaper. Been camping on craigslist and ebay for one with no luck. Thanks

You can program your auto PCM for use with a manual trans.

Interesting, how would I go about doing that. Would I send it off? If so how much would that be.

Can do it with Hptuners or have the dealer do it for about $80.

I tried to do it w/ HP Tuners, but never got it to work. I ended up taking it to the dealership and having them write a new vin# into the pcm. I gave the guy $20.

I've done it on HPtuners couple of times.

I didnt know the dealership could reflash it. Are there any problems with having it reflashed.

How much would hp tuners be and is it fairly simple to use.

To reflash using hptuners just get a bin. file from their repository and flash your Pcm with the new file, theres plenty of stock files to use. You would have to look to see how much its going for.

I sent mine to pcmforless to have it swapped to a manual. It was 125 for that and a performance tune.

I also have an extra 97 PCM, but it is also from an auto....

Re: WTB: 97 pcm for V6 with manual trans

What kinda of performance tune did you have done? How long did it take to get your pcm back?

Re: WTB: 97 pcm for V6 with manual trans

Just a 87 octane tune. I told them I was looking for better milage also instead of all out performance.

I think it took right at two weeks to get it back, but I also got it during a sale so i'm sure they got slammed right about then. I still don't have the car back together, so I can't comment on how it works but I have hearts nothing but good things about them....

Yea I've looked on pcmforless.com and its bout $150 for a mail order tune, and about $225 for new computer with a tune. Also I have a question since my car key has the resitor in it will it work with a new computer?

Yes it will work with a new PCM.

Whooo, thats a relief I was starting to think I had to get a new key made. It was a few years ago I has wanted to get a key made but the guy said because the specific resistor it had it would be like $80 from the dealer. Glad to know it works.
