has anyone ever done this? how is it as far as reliability is concerned?

 

Someone else has talked about this before... not sure if it's been tried.

 

I know it was tried on a car, but OD did not work. It was not done in controlled circumstances so it's not clear if it was install error that caused OD not to work.

I have talked to FLP/Chuck about doing it on my tranny, might still try it before the beginning of racing season.

 

Hey John, is that the guy that had the homemade bracket off to the right of the shifter and used roller switches on the gearshift and a master sw to disable the tranny computer? I cant remember where I saw the website.

lol, that guy with the micro switches was me.
I had full manual control in any gear including OD.

It looks like these guys have one.
