Default A4 to TH-400 to A4

First of all, new to the board. Glad to be on this board instead of asog.net, where we are all 95-00 Avenger/Sebring owners, which are just too slow for my taste and do not look anywhere as good as f-bodies.

Basically I got this car in October of last year and didn't realize it had a TH-400 (with 800 stall ) instead of the stock 4L60-E (it was an A4 originally). So after bumping up to 3.23 gears over the 2.72 that came with the car, I decided to go back to the 4L60-E (better ratios, overdrive). I got a pretty well built one and I'm going to swap it in very soon. I figure the PCM is set to a M6 since the TH-400 has no computer stuff, there are no devices sending false signals to the computer and I do not have any check engine lights. Can I set the car back to an A4 with LT1 Edit or do I need a copy of someone's 95 A4 PCM? Any help is greatly appreciated !

I think it can be done with edit. I would call up pcm's for less and talk to brian. He can do it.

I'm 99% sure you can do it with edit as long as it's not a 1993 model. Under the transmission window, you just check which one you have.

Actually, as crazy as it sounds, I put a 4l60e in and it worked right from the get go. No reprogramming, nothing. Nice to have overdrive and 3.06 first gear, except needed new tires immediately after the swap. I love this car even more now
