Default Auto tranny pcm on m6 car?

Will an auto tranny pcm cause problems with an m6 car? We're trying to get a tune on an ls1 rx7... the motor/tranny is a 99 camaro setup, but the wiring harness and ecu are 00 silverado. Obviously, the silverado was an auto. We're having a bunch of weird issue... we can get a solid tune at idle, but as soon as we drive the car everything goes to hell. We're throwing a ton of tranny codes. Is there something we need to change to make the auto tranny ecu cooperate with the manual tranny car?

you need a M6 program on the PCM. I had a PCM out of an A4 so I sent it out to wait4me and they reflashed it with the right program for the M6

This problem is acutally with my car, but was posted under Digitalsolo's name. I have accessability to HP Tuners and can flash the PCM myself, but I am not sure what all has to be done. What problems will running a A4 PCM on a M6 cause.

The PCM should be no issue at all. All you need to do is get a file/tune from a M6 car and flash it in, and then start your tuning

The PCM is just a computer and the tune is the program. I think the 512kb PCM is the same across Corvette, Camaro and even Holden.

I have a 2000 LS1 M6, have a stock bin file I can email you if that helps. Send me an email and I'll get the bin file emailed.

Do a search for about 2 years ago, I did a full instruction on this site or ls1.com. You will need to run some wiring to get some things to work back as usual, but it was a very simple project.
