Videobob, 

Actually your question concerning a manual override is relatively simple to
wire up and has been done on several occasions. Gear changes are
accomplished by switching two solenoids inside the auto trans on and off.
Somewhere in my library I have instructions and a diagram to accomplish this
modification. If your interested in a copy let me know and I'll conduct a
search it send it to you.

David, I have seen your instructions on how to build this "light box" in the
past, I don't understand what this is about.
You can easily tell what your transmission is doing since there is only 3
gears.
I can tell what gear I am in, does the light box tell you something else
besides what gear you are in?
I think I am having trouble understanding what it is for.
What I think you be useful is a manual override where you can push a button
and choose your gear and override the computer... now that would be useful!
