Surely someone has one sitting somewhere not being used.
Something like a TCI, or MSD or FAST EZ-TCU...

Come on let it go, I need it in order to be my true self..

I haven't seen him on in awhile but @1low4x4 if I got that right, might still have his from his wrecked truck. IIRC, he got the TCI unit and liked it alot.

On a more serious note, a set of microswitches mounted on a ratchet style shifter would create decent manual shift

Why not take a 0411 pcm and make one up. Im told it can be done pretty easy.

Not really, this type of manual shift still runs maximum pump pressure all the time. Gives neck snapping shifts at any rpm, eventually breaks the
tranny and/or pump goes south.

I'm considering the Trans-Go Mod88 which used a vacuum module in place of the solenoid to control pump pressure. But then it's full manual shift only.
I have a rock shifter that can hit reverse from any gear so I would be hanging my balls out driving this thing with full manual. Could hit reverse at 60 mph...
that would be cool!

I don't know anything about this and would like to learn.

Pressure control is easy with tps installed. But stand alone via 411 ecm is a good solution.

I understand if I run any kind of controller I need a TPS which I can handle.
