Restore the Smooth, Confident Drive to Your Monte Carlo
Is your 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo suffering from erratic shifting, getting stuck in gear, or flashing a check engine light? These frustrating issues often point directly to a failing Transmission Control Module (TCM). Don’t let a faulty computer ruin your driving experience. This professionally VIN-programmed T42 TCM is the definitive, plug-and-play solution to restore your vehicle’s transmission to its original, smooth-operating condition and get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing TCM can cause a host of problems that make your car feel unreliable and unsafe. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the solution you need:
- Harsh or Erratic Shifting: Abrupt, jerky gear changes or a feeling of the transmission slipping between gears.
- Limp Mode: The vehicle gets stuck in a single gear (usually 2nd or 3rd) to prevent further damage.
- Delayed Engagement: A noticeable pause when shifting from Park into Drive or Reverse.
- Warning Lights: A persistent Check Engine Light or Transmission Warning Light on your dashboard.
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): Common codes like P0700 (Transmission Control System Malfunction) or various solenoid-specific codes (e.g., P0750, P0751).
Installing this pre-programmed 2006-2007 Monte Carlo transmission control module directly resolves these issues by restoring precise electronic control over your transmission’s shifting, torque converter lockup, and line pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ‘VIN Programmed’ actually mean?
It means we use your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to load the exact factory software and calibrations for your specific Monte Carlo. This makes the module a true plug-and-play part, as it’s already configured to communicate perfectly with your car’s engine computer and other systems, eliminating the need for a dealership visit.
Is this part difficult to install myself?
For the 2006-2007 Monte Carlo, the TCM is typically located under the lower air cleaner housing, making it accessible. For someone with basic mechanical skills and tools, the replacement can often be done in under an hour. We always recommend disconnecting the battery before starting the installation.
Will this module fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general fault code indicating the TCM has detected a problem. While this module often resolves the root cause that triggers a P0700, it’s essential to have the vehicle scanned for other specific codes (like solenoid or sensor codes) to confirm the TCM is the primary point of failure. In many cases, a new 2006-2007 Monte Carlo transmission control module is the correct fix.
Do I need to send my old module back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module, which saves you the time and expense of return shipping.
How can I be sure this is the correct part for my car?
This module is specified for the 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. You can also verify the service number on your existing module against the compatible numbers listed (e.g., 24238856, 24252114). Providing your VIN during checkout is the best way to guarantee a perfect, programmed match.
