1996 PSD...hard shifting...chipped?
I tried doing a search but came up emty handed so...my buddy just bought a '96 PSD and it shifts hard. We are pretty sure it's chipped since the previous owner installed the boost and pyro guages, intake, etc. I suggested he drive it more like sports car and not worry about it...all I got was a blank stare. Anyway, in trying to help him out I went looking for the ECU and found it's not in the same location as my '01. I figure it's gotta be close--like under the kick panel left of the e-brake--but he's aweful particular about his "new" truck and letting someone start ripping panels out. Please help me find his "chip" and solve his hard shifting problem.

2 10 mm nuts and one in the center of the plug, remove the plastic piece then pull it out.
it is located from the engine side of the firewall under the booster and next to the fender.
you must pull the plastic inner fender part way out to remove it from the cab.
then on the bench,remove the black plast piece in the opposing end. if there is no plastic piece then the chip would be plugged in there.
or it could have an inline trancommand as i have from banks. that is located on the passenger side floor boards plugged into the trans harness.
