Differences between 6spd and Auto tunes for LT1s?
Doing a 6spd swap in my 89 GTA, already have a LT1/4L60E combo in there from a 95' Buick Roadmaster.
My question is whats the real difference between the tunes in a M6 vs A4 tune?
The reason I simply can't load up a factory 6spd f-body tune is because my engine is actually from an impala, so the cam and heads are different.
I know there is a "6 speed" switch in the PCM tune, but is that all there is too it? Just checking the "6 speed" box will cause it to ignore the 4L60E tables?
Sorry if I sound like an idiot, I searched but a 4L60E to T56 change isn't that common of a question in regards to the 94-95 LT1 PCMs. I checked on the CamaroZ28 and Impala SS/Caprice forums but struck out there.

there will be other differences, like VSS settings and IAC settings, probably tweaked main spark tables as well.
Re: Differences between 6spd and Auto tunes for LT1s?
There's so many differences in IAC logic alone between Auto and Manual trans I always start with a bin for the trans. Swapping over any VE, spark tables etc... for the engine should be fairly easy with TunerPro open twice and transferring B body LT1 engine data to F - Y body transmission bin.
I've collected a lot of LT1 bins for 1994 - 95 if you need them.
