[DML] CG Replacement

["Arne Hofmann (Beta LAYOUT GmbH)" <arne.hofmann@xxxx>]

Hi James,
before I fixed my CG few days ago, I started a design
with the following options:

- improved automatic shift with adjustable shiftpoints
- switchable to manual tiptronic (two buttons) with adjustable
shifting back security point (taken from the generator on the 
transmission)

Layout and the production of a few pcbs would be no problem 
because I own a company specialized in PCB-Prototype production
(www.pcb-pool.com).
To try out - build in - improve ... of course will cost a lot
of time...and my CG is working so nicely at the moment ;-)

Let's see the feedback first.....
