Rossler "little Black Box"
Rossler "little Black Box" Is anyone using this? Its supposed to convert your 4l60e to accept manual gear changes only. how bad is the delay? How do you like yours? I am interested in getting one for a project I might going on

I'm not really sure why running full line pressure is a problem, it seems to be all the rage with everyone wanting full manual reverse valve bodies.
I'm a transmission builder and I run full line pressure on the more powerful setups I build.
A 4L80E with a stock PR spring will idle at 90-110 psi and then go to 160-180 psi in drive with some rpm. That's not hurting anything.
I've never bought the Rossler box so I don't know what all it includes but for $300 it's pricey. Hopefully it does include vacuum modulation for the 4L60E at that price. Rossler is smart. He's selling a "Little Black Box" for $300 that I can build for CHEAP.

This was my understanding as well. Maybe someone can correct me if that is wrong but I thought with an upgraded tranny that can take the harsh shifts more line pressure was better so you dont slip the clutches and burn them prematurely with a flared shift
when i had my TCI HD-3 kit, i thought it ran full pressure, and they had an add on vac mod, which i added, that reduced the pressure in vacume mod
it dropped the pressure around 20-30 psi
i think the modded 700r's ran full pressure all the time
i saw one of the Rossler kits at a buddys place, not a lot in the kit, he offered it to me to try, says its for a 4l60e, but sup to work on a 4l80e, maybe one day i'll try it-right now im using full auto with Compushift controller, just ran some low 10's, pulled the pan to ck for clutch mat., pan was clean and fluid red, i just did a good rebuild with stock hard parts

Im interested as well. I could probably build a really crude one, I have a diagram of what functions and the sort.
I would buy one, I just dont have the 300 for a rossler...
(Mine is needed for my rockcrawler, trans doenst like to shift in double low, 2 t-cases)

IF you call Jake at Jakes performance he has the same box for 150 half the price. All it is is some solder connections and heat shrinking in that box. I talked to Jake personally for 3 hours today about how it works since I just fried my harness plug today with 140 amps. All it does it tap into the tranny pressure switch and the a and b solenoids and lock up solenoid to control the shifts.
? I e-mailed jakes performance and there box does not work with the 4l60e. Does anybody know if a stock 4l6oe with a stock converter will stand up to full pressure and being manually shifted as long as I take it easy. I am on a small budget and want the cheapest option if controlling a 4l60e.

Bumping an old thread. Will this keep lock up on the converter functional. Also is there a way you can wore in a toggle switch to switch back to full auto? My car is shifting too soon at wot and I'm thinking of using this to solve it
