Plug it in, and go into the tune. There should be a section on gears etc, I don'tremeber the exact part, but it will basically ask you if you wantto modify the tune, then ask if you want to modify the gearingsetting.

its pretty easy, just don't go into any area you don't want to change, and you can't screw it up.

if its anything like my sct livewire...go to tune car, then hit custom tune, then load your tune and it will give you the option to switch user options, go there and click axel ration then select the gear...then leave everything else the same and load the tune

ahh alright. i just thought it would require the whole tune to be redone. i thought if i went in to change the gear that i would have to reselect everything. i went as far as pluggin it in then goin to the first selection you can where it says program car, then i went to that and it says load custom tune or load custom tune. Thats what i need to do right?

Plug it in, select to load custom tune, select the custom tune you want to install, It'll ask you something Like edit options press select. Using the arrow keys scroll through the adjustable options until you see axle ration or gear selection ect..ect... Press select, use the up down arows to display the different gears. Once you find the one you need press select, then hit the cancel button to exit out of the adjustable settings menu, it will then ask you to install tune.... Press select again, it'll say building file..ect..ect.. then If Im not mistaking it'll ask do you want to install tune.... If it ask ,then press select once again and the tune will begin up-loading. Once it's complete it'll tell you what to do to end the process... FOLLOW the DIRECTIONS!! and remove the tuner.

YOUR DONE!!
