It will not work in your PCM - the manual transmission chip does not have required 4L80E programming to address the 4L80E functions in your PCM.
I use the manual-only chip in my '95 K3500 PCM, and have a spare '95 K3500 PCM from a 4L80E truck - should be same OBDI PCM, just different program, right?
No way, Jose!
Plugged the manual chp into the spare auto PCM for testing, got all the 4L80E DTC's, not clearable.
Not even clearable!

Tie call Bill and see if he will upgrade or swap it for you probably won't charge much, I have found him to be a very reasonable fellow, make sure you talk to Bill himself you may not need any tune auto to manual I just don't know.
