How do i do this with my 93? I found a diagram for 94 and 95 but nothing on the 93.

You can't. Only available on the 94-95 PCMs. Plus, your transmission is not electronically controlled.

Had to ask.. these guys on up in this thread was saying it was for up to a 93. Shouldnt the codes on the inside of the glove box tell me what all the car came with? If i had the manual to tell me what they mean. The Service Parts Identification..

93 used a 700R4 transmission and had an ECM (Engine Control Module), the 94 was a 4L60E with a PCM (Powertrain Control Module). I never did the performance button, but I did use a B&M ShiftPlus for a while (a resistor that raised line pressure). It was a gadget and not good for anything but annoying my wife (which it did quite well, I must say). I put shift hardware in the trans eventually and threw the ShitPlus in a box. And then I swapped for a 6 speed.

Yes, the SPID will show you all the RPO codes and you can find them on the internet. You are still out of luck on the performance button, though.
