You'll need a bin from a 1995.

I have a stock 95z28 A4 bin file I can send you. Check your private messages.

Are you sure its an A4 program? If you run an A4 trans (40 tooth VSS) with an M6 program (expecting a 17 tooth VSS signal) the speedo will read aboutt 2.3 X actual speed.

I'm not a tuner. Just suggesting a possible source of the problem.

Re: 1994 pcm in 1995 lt1

Just because auto trans is enabled in the switch table doesn't mean the speed calibration is correct. A bin from the internet could have been modified. Check under the tools tab, speedometer calibration. The current calibration will be shown and you can make sure it shows 40 pulses per driveshaft revolution. Since you have 3.42 gears you need to calibrate the speedometer anyway. The program will ask if you want to modify the transmission shift tables. In my experience modifying the shift tables works good if this is a stock bin that has never been modified. If the shift tables have been modified before, and you modify them again, you may get some bad values.

My speedometer acted like you describe one time after I flashed a new bin. I never figured out why but flashing it with a different bin file fixed it.
