Default Speedo issue!

I need help. No one knows what will fix this so far. I have a 1998 Trans Am and I converted from auto to 6-Speed. I used body and engine harness from a stick car. Problem is my speedo reads 50% of what the car is doing. Is this a 98 issue? Was there 2 different pcm’s? I selected manual trans and it just won’t read right.

You can recalibrate the speedo in the PCM.

In the hp tuner, did you put in the gear and tire size?

Yes I set the tire size. I used a scanner and the main issue is the pcm is reading half the speed as well. So the cluster is showing what the pcm is sending it.

Change the pulses per mile in the tune.
