PCM controls the trans shifts via electrical solenoids. neat thing is starting in 2000-2002, all autos have the second gear start. you just put the selector in 2 and it'll start off in second. here's a dyno of my 00 formula starting in 2nd gear at 10 mph.

I need it for some really crazy stop-go traffic...
I have HPTuner & can't find anything that will program for a 2nd gear start ??
Maybe because 1998 didn't have it, it won't be in program ??
Anyone know what brand of aftermarket valve-body, or valve body shift kit, for this ??
Or maybe someone knows of a simple valve-body or solanoid mod to make 2nd gear start possible ??
Thanks,
Dave

I checked my 2001 F-body Helms manual last night. It says that the 1st gear soleniod is not activated and allows only 2nd gear to be applied. basically it is overriding the 1 -> 2 shift and going directly into 2nd. I was mistaken in the valve body thing, it is electronically controlled, but I will research how it can be done via HPTuners.

see if you can get a .bin for a 2000-2002 auto fbody. then look into integrating that part of the programming into your car. or see if you can use that OS with your PCM.
