Tired of Unpredictable Shifting in Your Pontiac Pursuit?
Are you experiencing frustrating and potentially unsafe transmission issues with your 2005 Pontiac Pursuit? Harsh shifts, getting stuck in gear, or a persistent Check Engine Light can turn every drive into a stressful event. These are classic signs of a failing Transmission Control Module (TCM). Before you consider an expensive and time-consuming trip to the dealership, we have the precise, reliable solution you need to get your car driving like new again.
Common Symptoms & Your Direct Solution
A faulty TCM can disrupt your vehicle’s entire performance. If you’re noticing any of the following, this module is your answer:
- Abrupt, harsh, or delayed gear shifting
- Transmission getting stuck in one gear (limp mode)
- Check Engine Light illuminated with codes like P0700, P0753, P0758
- Poor acceleration and decreased fuel economy
- Inaccurate or erratic speedometer readings
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take a genuine OEM module and flash it with the latest GM software updates specifically for your vehicle. By providing your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) during checkout, you receive a 2005 Pontiac Pursuit TCM that is truly plug-and-play, saving you hundreds in dealer programming fees.
An Expert’s Note: The Programming is Everything
Many people buy a used TCM online, only to find out it won’t work because it’s not programmed for their specific car. The vehicle’s computer won’t recognize it, and you’re left with the same problem, plus the cost of towing your car to a dealer who has the expensive equipment to flash it. Our process eliminates that entire headache. We handle the critical programming step for you, so when the part arrives, it communicates perfectly with your Pursuit’s systems right out of the box. It’s the smartest way to get the job done right the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians will then use this number to load the exact, most current software from GM for your specific vehicle onto the TCM before we ship it to you.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is straightforward for anyone with moderate mechanical skill, as it’s a direct-fit part. On the 2005 Pursuit, it’s typically located behind the driver-side strut tower. Because our module is pre-programmed, you avoid the most difficult part of the job—the software calibration. However, we always recommend installation by a qualified mechanic if you are not comfortable with the process.
Will this fix my specific transmission problem?
This module is the definitive solution for issues originating from the TCM itself. It directly addresses problems like erratic electronic shift commands and communication errors that lead to poor performance and fault codes. If your mechanic has diagnosed a faulty TCM, this is the correct part.
Do I need to do anything after installation?
In most cases, no additional steps are needed. The core programming is complete. Some vehicles may benefit from a short drive cycle for the transmission to fully adapt to the new module, but it does not require any special tools or procedures. It’s designed to be a simple plug-and-play fix.
Is this compatible with other vehicles?
Yes. While this listing is for a 2005 Pontiac Pursuit TCM, this part number and our programming service are compatible with a wide range of 2004-2005 GM vehicles, including the Cobalt, GTO, Corvette, Trailblazer, Envoy, and more.
