How difficult is it to swap a pcm and how do you do it? I need to know for my rear-end swap I'm doing shortly.

Swapping a pcm is easy pie man. Just gotta disconnect the two bolts, take off the two connector attachements, and pull that mother out. Its very annoying to pull out, but you can do it, just give it hell [img]smile.gif[/img] Make sure you disconnect the battery first though!

Make sure you are careful when you are removing the two bolts on the connectors, if you do it the wrong way or if your too rough it will break the conneters and you really be sol. And also make sure to remove the two bolts on the casing the PCM is sitting in and then move the whole thing to the right and try toget it out. You might have to loosen the water guard under the windshield there because I did.
In case you didnt know the PCM is in the upper left hand corner of the engine compartment, easily visable due to all the wires going into it. I fuxored my hand up doing this so be careful all that metal in there is sharp.
for fun do a seacrh for: PWNED by my PCM, it details in length what happened to me. [img]graemlins/dunce.gif[/img]

Why are you replacing the PCM? I installed another rear in my car and I didn't need to change anything other than the emergency brake cables.

I’m new. I actually don’t own a Camaro or firebird. I do have a 2000 Camaro 3.8 fly by throttle and 4l60e. This is installed in a 1980 Triumph TR7...1 week ago -
