The PCM tuned for a manual and the correct gear ratio you have.

he said ANY vin number. As in from ANY Manual transmission F-Body. Friend's, neighbor's, relatives, go test drive one off Craigslist and say you're going to run a Car-Fax, doesn't matter.

And PCM TUNE not WHOLE PCM, even though a whole PCM will probably due the trick.

heh How did you do a whole trans swap, done right presumably, and can't read correctly what we're saying
