I'm probably way off here as my experiance is with the old EECIV processor that was an all in one box.
Cool stuff!

I have been thinking about going to a floor/console mounted shifter (like the FX4 F150.)
The shifter from a 2006 Explorer has the correct indexes PRND321.
However, something like the "Autostick" that Chrysler uses would be cool.
I suppose a spring loaded console shifter could be made to upshift and downshift the torqshift. I am wondering what to do about the parking pin though.
(I like thinking out loud!)

Hey Matt any progress on this? Just curious. Would it be possible to do this with only the original processor in place? If this could be done by simply rerouting some of the signals to switches (and associated kibles n bits) that might make things a little easier. I wouldn't mind losing the auto capability and going strictly to a manualy shifted (via up/down switch or the like) Torqshift.
It certainly is fun to shift it manually 1,2,3 on the column but feels pretty lousy when you go to drive and it skips 4th and goes to 5th.

Wow, this one is old.
No new news at this point; simply haven't had the time nor the focus to work on either one lately...most of the parts for both projects are in taped up box amoungst other projects

I can remember in 1979 I got my first Apple ][+ computer. I could wire it to the house and control the lights and had an alarm system built into it too. I was 10 years old. Now I'm 37 and haven't a freakin' clue what all that crap Matt is talking about.
I REALLY wish I had stayed with it. I feel so freakin' dumb now a days!
I just want to hit the gas and go like a bat out of he!!.
