When swapping to a T5 from an Automatic what is the difference in the T5 PROM, is it something to do with idle control when stopping? Does anyone have the ECM and PROM #'s for the '85 T5's?
Thanks,

The idle speed will probably be lower, since the car doesn't have to be put in drive. I'm not too familiar with the L69 ECM, but I know it is on the TPI cars. Automatics will idle around 800 in neutral, manual trans around 600. Also, the T5 ECM won't have the torque converter lockup function enabled. The only other thing I can think of is maybe the shift light.
Thanks Ward. I'm planning to do the T5 swap in my Monte next year and I wanted to be sure I had "all the bases covered" when I did it.
