I see all kinds of posts about gear changes and then tuning the pcm. Some talk about using a y87 vin, others the speedo calibrators from some of the companies like slp and grantelli(sp?), and then others just bought tuning software. Now the problem I am running into is my mech said he would need both vehicles for the reflash. The speedo calibrators don't fix the shift points, and tuning software is way too expensive for me at the moment. Just wondering what people have done. I seriously need to replace my pinion bearing and I figure I might as well go from open 3.08's to posi 3.42's and I need to fix the speedo.

The mech should be able to change it since 3.42 was a stock gear.2002 Pewter V6 Camaro M5 <br /><br />Quickest stock-motor N/A V6 4th Gen F-body.<br />2nd Quickest N/A V6 4th Gen F-body overall.<br />mods: Gear, weight reduction, tuning <br /><br />Fear the Gear. 13.585 @ 100.05 1.827 60\'<br /><br /><br /><a href=\"http://www.NJFBOA.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.NJFBOA.org</a> -

I bought a 3.42 pcm from intense for 99.00 to fix the shiftpoints and make the car run cooler. And I bought an intense speedo calibrator for 99.00 to fix the speedo.1998 Camaro<br />Pacesetter Headers<br />3\"cat-back w/3.5\"tips<br />3.42+lsd<br />Intense Racing PCMComment

Shouldn't the 3.42 pcm have fixed the speedo?Slow 97Comment

yes the intense file would have fixed the speedo, shift points, and recalibrated some torque management for the new gear ratio..it is the standard intense file..this is the same one i bought..and then used HP Tuners to flash it onto my PCM..i ended up just buying HP Tuners because the Chevy dealers around here would not flash my PCM for me..now that i have it i am VERY glad i bought it..and would certainly recommend it<b>12 SECOND DUAL STAGE DRY NITROUS POWERED 98 A4 V6 CAMARO<br /><a href=\"http://www.mysickcamaro.50megs.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.MySickCamaro.50megs.com</a><br />Best ET: 12.82@103<br />Best MPH: 104.7<br />Best 60\': 1.75 - Stock TC</b><br /> </font><blockquote><font size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">quote:</font><hr /><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Originally posted by Shodown:<br /><strong>1DV6 runs 12\'s...enough said. </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Comment

for some reason the 3.42 pcm did not fix my speedo? I thought it did at first but when i went on the highway and people were passing me when my speedo said 100 I knew it wasnt fixed.1998 Camaro<br />Pacesetter Headers<br />3\"cat-back w/3.5\"tips<br />3.42+lsd<br />Intense Racing PCMComment

That one will work, sorry about that. I have my original data back home (I am at school) found it though in my email. This one is correct and will work with 3.42 gears.
