Hacking the transmission

Just wondering what would it be like to have paddles like some bmw's and force the transmission to shift?

To be able to have full control of when higher rpm's aren't necessary. For instance when cold and not towing, my truck wants to shift much later than I wish it would. Or when in towing and wanting it to stay in a lower gear and not shift into overdrive.

I think bmw has a great idea and it would be interesting to see that kind of control in the Torqueshift transmission.
