6speed swap pcm trouble

Post by Zvibe2004 »

I have just finished? swapping out the automatic in my 04 vibe for a 6speed, the car is running ok but milage is down and the check engine light stays on due to PCM issues from the automatic tranny that isn't there anymore. A mechanic said I can't reflash my pcm for manual programming due to vin-lock. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
2004 Base Vibe, 134,000 on the clock and still tickin'
born automatic, NOT ANYMORE!!! it's a 6 speed now!! :D
its gonna be a mean vibe someday, to about the tune of 350-400 whp ;)

Sounds like you need a new PCM. A PCM from any 5-spd Vibe/Corolla/Matrix would work.

Man am I slightly jealous of you... that's exactly what I want to do to my Vibe.
