Is it still the case that the 05 Vibes dont need to have the PCM replaced?

I can't post the entire TSB, GM might get upset, but '03~'04 Automatics still get the CC and the PCM, and the '05's get a CC only, as do ALL Manual Transmission cars.

I'm guessing this is for base cars only...

Good question, is this for the base only?

I wish I could get this repaired even if I don't have the sulphur smell. If they replace the Cat with a better one then it makes sense that I should have it regardless.
