Well I cant say that I have a automatic trans anymore, but I still keep a eye out for people with them. Over the years the biggest problem with installing a after market ECU with the stock Automatic trans was the loss of Trans control.

Well I stumbled onto the solution tonight, this info possible has been shared before, but i am still going to toss it out there.

They have a 700 dollar controller that will operate the STOCK trans, or any other trans you can hook up to it and have a fully programmable trans computer.

Well I bet you are asking, why is this so special, THEY HAVE A READY MADE HARNESS FOR THE FD3S Automatic (R4A-EL) TRANS. It is almost plug and play.



There has been some talks in there forum about how to hook it up and the settings you can do.

There is even a nice manual mode so you can do push button shifts if you want, up or down.

Well this concludes my public service announcement

 

Forgot to say that the hold will still work, or you can make your own setting for the hold button

 

Sweet!! I've heard about this before.. but great to see its now plug and play.

thanks for the find! As I get older, I kind of miss driving an auto car..

 

That site looks very familiar.
I did look at the controller last week but did not check to see if it was FD compatable.

You earned your GOLD STAR for the year!

 

Thanks Chuck
