Default 4L80 conversion

Did anyone that converted to a 4L80 get their speedo and cruise to work?
My issues:
I swapped from T56 to 4L80 and changed out the engine/trans wiring harness to a A4 harness. I have the PCMforless conversion plug and relays. They also supplied a T42 and put the A4 tune in my computer.
(1)Speedo is way fast, 40mph shows about 85mph. The VSS plug is plugged into the rear sensor.
(2) still have to depress he clutch switch to get it to start.
(3)No cruise control.
Thanks for any ideas!

That speedo and clutch issue should be able to be fixed with HPT.

Got the speedo corrected with HP Tuners. Still need to fix the clutch switch and get cruise turned on. When I depress the cruise button, the dash shows cruise engaged. It does not hold the speed though. It does not turn off with the clutch switch or brake switch. It has to be turned off at the hand switch.

Love it !
I got all of the little electrical problems solved. The company that I sent the computer to did not complete the auto tune. Had to send it back.

I know that I love mine too. Mine is stock and I can beat the mess out of it and it wont die. When I had a 60e I was alwasy scared waiting for the it'd quit.

My '92 Camaro has a T56 that I'll probably eventually swap out for an 80e as well.
