    change my c5 corvette from manual to auto

    i just need some clarrification on this. i believe what i need to do is find a stock auto file from the repository, do a write entire to my current ecm and then transfer my tune over. is that correct? anybody have a file for a auto c5 that i could start with?

    if you find an auto file that has the same OS ID as your manual you can just write cal. No need to write entire.
    I count sheep in hex...

    I wanted the frc body style and it only came in a six speed but I'm really more of a drag racer so I swapped it. Last thing I need is a C5 auto file.

    OK thanks. Now I'm looking for a 99 auto file.

    last question. When you say one with the same os as mine, do you know what year models I have to choose from? I'm guessing I can use up till an 04. Is one year better than others?

    it would be from the same year/model as yours to even have a shot at being the same os(the os id can be found in the calibration details window).
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    A wise man once said "google it"
