Smile LS2 intake with a 200r4 transmission

I have an LS2 intake on my LQ9 but my delema is I have a drive by wire throttle body. How can I make my 200r4 trans work with this throttle body? My 200r4 works off a Bowtie Overdrive TV system cable. Do I need to switch my TB to a cable operated?

To be honest, you need to get a 4L60E. That would be the easiest and probably cheapest way to go, in the long run. The 200-4R is a good tranny but you have to have the TV cable hooked up with the correct geometry or the tranny will fry real quick. With a DBW throttle body, there really isn't a good way to connect a tv cable. If you switch to a cable driven setup, you will still have to figure out a way to connect the tv cable and get the geometry correct. You could always put a manual valve body in the tranny, or a constant pressure valve body.
