I don't mind -- I get better mileage by watching my vacuum gauge and tach, then shifting accordingly -- especially when towing. One of the GM stand alone TCMs could probably be re-wired to work, but that depends on how close the GM trans is to the Chrysler in function (meaning how the solenoids are arragned for shifting). They could surely be reprogrammed to work. Maybe one of the TCM companies would be interested if enough people wrote and suggested such? 


How big a "market" is there for a deelectronification controller? Whatsa
interface? I know nothing about this trans; are you talkign about making
it a "push-button manual valvebody" type thing? Did the original car
computer calc all shift changes?
