Roland@pcmtec Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 You'll need professional edition to change the strategy to a manual one. Editing an auto strategy attempting to make it manual is a bad approach as the car will have a high idle and rev hang due to the different dashpot settings.

05xtsleeper Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 @Roland@pcmtec is it easy to get a manual strategy with professional edition? Will pcmtec be able to do do the manaul strategy for my pcm? Im going from a btr 4 speed to a t5 do I do all the steps from zf to manual guide? I have a feeling I might lose cruise control i do have au t5 speedo gear and clutch pedal switch can I use these to fix if I run into that issue?

Roland@pcmtec Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Depends what you mean by easy. Might make more sense to pay someone to do it for you and be cheaper as well. You need to know exactly what strategy out of the 900+ there are ahead of time. Its absolutely doable but if you are looking for cookie cutter instructions there aren't any.

05xtsleeper Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 @Roland@pcmtecThank you for the info. I was told its was going to cost just under $1500 to get it done plus dyno tune they wouldn't do it without the dyno tuning. So buying the tool and buying professional edition is still cheaper in my case and I'm happy to learn. Thank you so much for the replies.

05xtsleeper Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 @Roland@pcmtec using pcmtec's user interface to look for manual strategies and compare to my base strategy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland@pcmtec Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 The workshop edition includes a full list of all strategies, if you have the professional edition this is not available and you must know ahead of time the strategy you wish to use.

05xtsleeper Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 @Roland@pcmtec my cars current pcm strategy is HAANGA6??. From the research I did when looking for the right manual pcm for my car and that was strategy HAANGB6. Am I on the right path that I would most likely use strategy HAANGB6 to flash to my pcm?

Im going from a btr 4 speed auto to a t5 as I have it already. Will I need a new pcm for the t5 or thats only if I want the t56?? I had a look at website from what I seen ford used my pcm module type in the mk1's maybe a mk1 manual strategy would work. What options do I have if i keep the t5 and current pcm, try and flash a manual strategy if that doesn't work try and edit the current auto strategy if that doesn't work would a custom os work?? as of the auto loom ill repin and rewire to suit t5. I'm really hoping I can use my current pcm as I've been looking for nearly 3 years and only one that popped up a couple of years ago and it was DOA. I'm waiting on the Tactrix Openport 2.0 to come in the mail and then I'll buy pcmtec pro and start learning what needs to be done. @BeerTurbo thanks for the reply.

I've seen on other forums that some auto pcm's were made as auto pcm's only & don't like being edited to manual or flashed with manual tunes. They will accept auto to manual edits or complete manual flashes but cruise won't work & they have little gremlins that haunt you forever. Some ecu's are designed for both auto & manual & are happy with either strategy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland@pcmtec Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Basically comes down to if they have the clutch switch input driver or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
