I fashoned a little "Z" shaped brackt... attached a rubber runner on the PCM mount and a rubber "arm" on the bracket....and used the lower screw on the stock mounting bracket as well. I think I will go get a pic... could come in useful!...

You go a lot further than I do.

The 2000 PCM is flopping around; only being held in place by the wiring harness. The PCM in the 1995 is resting between the underhood fuse box and brake master cylinder.

I did this mainly so I can get the connector back into the PCM without any assistance, and seems to work well.

I got the check I've been waiting on today. This weekend I'll hunt down my PCM code and by Monday I'll be placing my order. BIG POWER HERE I COME!!! :happy-dancing: Or at least better power. :cheesy smile:

Under normal acceleration, the TCC is commanded to apply in 3rd gear at some point (Depending on PCM code, which is why I asked for it).
Just took a look, my code is VDH5. Does that tell you anything?

I would also still like to know if the 3-4 shift can be cleaned up without changing the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts.

Would it be best just to call in before filling out the order form?

I'd give them a call just to make sure you get all your questions answered. That was one of the things that really impressed me, no matter how dumb or trivial the questions I asked I got great answers without being made to feel like a dumba$$...lol. They are really a great outfit to deal with.
