GM list 4 chips for the 86 5 speed cars, all for the same ecm please help.

I swapped out the auto for a 5 speed and I would like to switch to a 5 speed chip but the gm list 2 chips for the m39 5 speed and 2 for the mc4 5 speed, what are the diffrences? they are all for the same model computer, the tranny from my car is from a 88 iroc, I guess the auto chip is looking for a vss whitch the 5 speed car does not have in the tranny. alll of these chips are for the 86 z with the h code (LG4) What is the diffrence? will any of these chips work? is one better then the other? thanks

The difference from auto to man is *primarily* IAC movements

The Bins at DIY are EFI related,
My best luck with the CCC has always been to use the chip ecm carb cals from the ZZZ kit. But, I think that is auto only.

Reading Doug Roe's Q Jet book would be an excellent start.

late 86 was when world class t5's were phased in. Different gear ratio's came in the different tranies. I would bet this is the difference in the chips. As far as timing changes.

Late 86? My data shows GM didnt use the WCT5 until 1988 models, which would be late 1987 calendar year.
