[Gmecm] How does the ecm "know" if it is an auto or manual trans ?

[Sjödin Robert]

Perhaps the $58 is different but in my case ($8D) there are quite a few tables and constants that will differ. Eg compare main SA table for low RPM and high MAP you will see that auto has much more spark advance due to converter. 

My Corvette came with an ANHT-based (auto) "custom" chip but it should have been AXCN (manual). When I started to compare those two I found that several hundred bytes calibration data were different.

I would be surprised if it was only one bit differece between auto and manual gearbox for the $58 since there are so may differences in case of the $8D.

In addition,  both Tunercat and Promgrammer let you edit this bit.
