Chevy Impala Replace TCM. Junkyard TCM used?!? Programing? Results?

Step by step replacement of a TCM on an 06 Impala LT 3.9L. There was a remanufactured TCM installed that had failed. I used a TCM from the junkyard. Did it work? Did I have to do any programing? Watch the video to see the results!

Buy me some beer!

Thank you so muchfor this video, I have an '05 Buick lacrosse doing the exact same thing and the scanner actually said "lost communication with TCM" so I'm gonna giver a shot and go to the junk yard cause the tcm I pulled out looks exactly the same as yours

Had shifting issues with my 2006 chevy cobalt. Speedometer not moving. Stuck in 1st gear. I disconnected the battery pulled TCM and disconnect it for 5mn. Plugged it back. Hooked up battery. Worked like a charm. Kinda like rebooted the system. Saved me lots of$ not bringing it to a Stealership.

USUALLY USED DOESN'T NEED PROGRAMMING GOOD DEAL 😎

I was wondering would that show up on a scan tool


Thanks for the help no doubt I'll be experiencing that
Some day 😄

So just replaced the TCM and you don't need to reprogram anything?

I enjoyed your video. Very explanatory. I have a question, before you changed out your tcm, besides the shifting, did you have any more symptoms with your car? Such as; the speedometer and odometer not working?

After I changed the tcm in my Impala. It was from junkyard too. Well car won't start now. What be the problem now?

Hey I know this video was posted a minute ago but I’m having problems accelerating past 60 mph no matter how much acceleration I give it do yu think that’s the issue for me aswell I need a new tcm?

[em.marcus]

I'm goin to try that...mines will shift in reverse..will not shift in drive sometimes slips into neutral ....will partially work in low gear

[ashleyselchow]

That's not wear the TCM is on my 2012 Impala. Any suggestions?

My 2013 Chevy impala is currently down it doesn’t up shift and feels like it’s stuck in 1st or 2nd gear when I put it in reverse it does a hard jerk going into that gear and the code it’s showing is U0101 which it says the TCM has lost communication with other control modules you think changing the TCM would fix that ? I’m curious now before spending a ton of money on a new transmission

What problems did urs have before changing old tvm

[LeonardoTorres-ys]

Big fan. I recognize the junkyard. North Vegas right?

[aaliyahmccrea]

She’s so precious. Almost forgot about programming my car and started getting baby fever

[zamora]

I got a new one and it needed to be programmed do u think urs didn't need to be programmed because it was used?

I have a 2007 Chevy Uplander. Give it gas from a stop KLUNK and it starts to accelerate normally. Could this be the TCM ? Or shift solenoid? Any help is appreciated. Great video BTW.

Would a 2011 impala tcm be located in the same area as a 2006? Thanks
