I SERIOUSLY doubt it would. I ran an almost stock tune in my ECM(theft disabled only), and it ran 100% fine with nothing but the ECM and TCM hooked up. I didn't add in the BCM and cluster logic module until later on.

mine doesnt shift. at all im not sure what gear it stuck in but it will get up to maybe 40 is what im thinking so what ever gear it stuck in kinda sucks.

That is what mine would do when I limped the trany. When I cleared the codes it would work fine until i limped it again. Have you tried that yet?
