[QUOTE="SmartHacks, post: 782902, member: 34504"] So as of this writing, I have forward and reverse gears working on the automatic transmission. The electric motor is connected directly to the transmission with the throttle control cable locked in the full-open position. What I like about this set up is that it consistently shifts at 40kpm into second gear, and 80kpm for 3rd gear. What I don't like is the shift selector must be exactly positioned, otherwise the transmission doesn't know which gear I want. That goes for Reverse and Drive, but that was an issue with the transmission before the conversion. The other thing I don't like with this setup is the down-shifts are locked at 40 and 80kpm, meaning if I stomp on the throttle, the transmission won't down-shift to give me more torque. I have to slow to downshift, then hit the throttle and hope it doesn't jump into the higher gear too soon. Lastly, the car won't budge in D, I have to select 2 and shift shift to D when I'm ready for 2nd. Long story short, I'll probably keep this set up for a while longer and then look into replacing with a manual transmission for the fun factor. [/QUOTE]
