You'll need to overcome 2 issues.

The main issue is the throttle valve cable. It manages line pressure based on engine load. You'll need to run that cable from the transmission to the throttle body. Look for a kit made by Lokar. If it is a fly by wire system a 700 will not work because there is no throttle cable assy on the throttle body.

The other issue is you'll need to manage torwue converter lock up. This is done several different ways... the easiest is to wire up the solenid so that lock up occurs as soon as 4th gear applies. There are systems out there that will lock up based on engine vacuum and other means.
