i want to use a standalone TCM for my 4L60 E tranny. do they make one? my carbed motor would be nice in front of an overdrive tranny. any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I know i can use a 700R4 but ive already got the electric assist tranny and it would be easier just to use what i have.

there are other companies too, but tci makes them. and then you can get paddle shifters for it too!

and the 4l60e will work out nicer than the tv cable setup, wish i had just gone that route in the first place

AFAI have been told TCI doesn't make them, they are rebadged PCS controllers. They aren't a sponsor but PCS = Powertrain Control Solutions

alright cool. because i want to use the stock gauge cluster and speedometer. with a 700R there would be a ton of stuff to change. i have to get a schematic of my car for the wiring of my factory tach to the hei distributor. but i might just put about a ten inch soup bowl tach with a 400 watt shift light, haha. thanks alot. never fails this forum has the best feedback ive ever expierenced

danmathews

oh and where do you think i can find a PCS. any reccomendations

When saying they aren't a sponsor, what I really mean is that I can't link you to them, but giving you their whole name means that you can Google them fairly quickly.

we use the PCS data loggers and trans controllers here is AUS and they work a treat, a quick google will bring up all you need

danmathews

okay gotcha. im new to the forum so learning the ins and outs might take a bit. haha. great feedback thanks

I know a guy using a TCI box for his 4L80E
and though it lacks some of the features of
PCM-controlled shifting, it's been trouble-free
(and you tune it with its own buttons, not a
laptop).

danmathews

alright that sounds pretty good too. glad to know my options

that's the same controller I was talking about.

FWIW, both of the engineers that work with me now were involved in the creation of that 80 controller and it's software...

danmathews

man. your the kinda guy i want to work for/with one day. haha. the price tag is kinda steep. $750, you wouldnt have a solution for that too huh??

I am fortunate to work with the guys that I do.

PCS has some trick devices. No solution for the price though. You could get a MVB for the trans and do your own shifting.

danmathews

no, thats a little too much for what i want to do with the car. if my lady wants to drive it to go to the store or something i want her to be able to figure out how to drive the thing. plus, i just want a street car that is no doubt "streetable". MVB is too much for me. plus, with the PCS system i can use the stock cluster and from what ive been reading the capability of adjusting with the TCM is really cool too
