I've pretty much decided that the 4L80e is the path I'm going to take with my CUCV. But the $600+ for a controller stings. I've been tinkering with a arduino to control it. Right now this is only a proof of concept. The LEDs would actually be IRF540's to control the solenoids. There actually needs to be a 4th as well for the line control, but I'll just live with firm shifts for now. What I have envisioned is to add a LCD screen (simple monochrome one) to display the transmission gear, mode, RPM, trans temp, maybe MPH. What will be needed for automatic shifting would be a TPS, engine RPM, and VSS. I know a 6.5TD TPS should be useable. The RPM could be had by swapping out the "distributor" with a 6.5TD as well. The VSS would probably need to be a inline adapter from dakota digital. Or if you're swapping in a later model t-case, you'd have a VSS. (But you'd need to deal with the speedo for a CUCV with either a GPS unit, a digital to cable adapter, or a speedo that uses a signal instead) I'd like to add a tow/haul button where 3rd gear also locks TCC after delay. As well as button to cycle through modes. (Auto/Manual) I'm wanting this to all be open source, so anyone else wanting to help on this, please feel free to help/share.
