Get Your Pursuit Shifting Smoothly Again
Are you tired of dealing with erratic shifting, a flashing check engine light, or the unnerving feeling of your 2005 Pontiac Pursuit getting stuck in gear? These frustrating transmission problems can ruin your daily drive and leave you worried about costly repairs. This pre-programmed Transmission Control Module (TCM) is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing TCM can manifest in several ways, often triggering diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and causing noticeable driving issues. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is designed to be the fix you need:
- Harsh or delayed shifting between gears
- The transmission feeling like it’s stuck in one gear (limp mode)
- Illuminated Check Engine Light with codes related to solenoids or communication errors (e.g., P0700, P0751, P0756, U0101)
- Inaccurate or erratic speedometer readings
- Complete loss of gear engagement
Instead of paying for expensive diagnostics and programming fees at a dealership, our module arrives at your door ready for installation. We take your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and flash the unit with the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM. This ensures perfect communication between the TCM and the rest of your car’s electronic systems.

An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming: In modern vehicles, the TCM isn’t just a simple computer; it’s the brain of your transmission, constantly talking to the Engine Control Module (ECM), ABS, and other systems.

By programming this 2005 Pontiac Pursuit TCM to your specific VIN, we ensure it has the correct software for your car’s unique configuration—engine size, gear ratios, and electronic options. This critical step prevents compatibility conflicts and guarantees the seamless, reliable performance you expect.

While it’s a straightforward job for many DIYers, we always recommend consulting a repair manual or a professional mechanic if you are unsure.
