Is Your GTO’s Transmission Letting You Down?
Are you experiencing frustrating and unpredictable shifting in your 2005 Pontiac GTO? Sluggish acceleration, harsh gear changes, or a transmission that seems to have a mind of its own can ruin the driving experience of this modern muscle car. If your dashboard is lit up with a check engine light and the car is stuck in ‘limp mode,’ a faulty TCM is the most likely culprit. It’s time to stop chasing symptoms and replace the core component responsible for your GTO’s performance with this fully programmed 2005 GTO Transmission Control Module.
Common GTO Transmission Problems & Your Direct Solution
A failing Transmission Control Module can manifest in several ways, often leading to incorrect diagnoses. If you’re noticing any of the following, this module is the definitive solution:
- Delayed or harsh shifting, especially between 1st and 2nd gear.
- The vehicle getting stuck in one gear (limp mode).
- No communication between your scan tool and the TCM.
- Inaccurate speedometer readings.
- Common Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P0700, P0751, P0756, P0741, or U0101.
This replacement module is the fix. We take the guesswork out of the repair by pre-programming it specifically to your car’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ships. This ensures it communicates perfectly with your GTO’s engine computer and other systems, restoring the original, crisp shifting you expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this module?
No. This is the biggest benefit of our service. We program the 2005 GTO Transmission Control Module to the VIN you provide before we ship it. It arrives ready for installation.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you can send us a message with your 17-digit VIN, or add it as a note to your order during checkout. We cannot ship the part until we have this information.
Is this a brand new part from the dealer?
This is a quality, tested component that has been expertly prepared and programmed for your specific vehicle, ensuring reliable performance and function equivalent to the original equipment.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general fault code, meaning the TCM has detected a problem and has requested the check engine light to be turned on. Often, a failing TCM is the root cause of the more specific codes that P0700 points to. While this part resolves the issue in a majority of cases, you should always diagnose the specific codes stored within the TCM itself.
What if I still have a problem after installation?
While this module is a common solution, ensure all your wiring and connectors are clean and secure. Transmission issues can sometimes stem from mechanical problems or faulty solenoids. However, this part is backed by our one-year replacement warranty for your peace of mind.
