Group, Last December, I asked for your opinion on what you would like to see in a brand spanking new automatic transmission computer. I am pleased to say progress has been good and the prototype computer is being tried out on a test bench. If you are seriously wanting a new computer for your automatic transmission, send me an e-mail with your name and the features you want. Initial plan is to make 5 units. Here are the basic features: 1. Microchip embedded processor 2. Digital signal processing 3. New printed circuit board, not rebuilt 4. Redundant / fault tolerant hardware / software design. Computer can be completely destroyed and you can still drive home in low gear. 5. Shift points are similar to the original computer 6.Easy install. No more than four solder points to make. Looks completely stock except for some extra wires. 7.Easy upgrade to new or extra features; it's a simple plug in for new hardware. The computer is upgradeable. Here are the optional features: 1.User settable shift points. Shift points are retained in non-volatile memory. Your settings are retained even if battery is removed. 2.Shift points are easy to set. Only requires a box with three push buttons to program. 3.LED read out on which gear you're in. Optional features to be incorporated in the future: 1."Pedal" shifter mounted on steering column. Full time manual gear shift over ride. Think fly-by-wire.
