Thanks for your prompt reply nigel. Your explanation does make sense and yes might be easier to buy that gotech unit. Still, when got time will try to play around with it just to have some fun Again thanks for your articles and for sharing your knowledge here. Cheers

Found this about solenoid configuration for A340E: http://home.wjw.co.nz/Toyota/A340/19manualsh.pdf So I just think about put some alternating push button, 1 for each position P,R,N,D,2,L and an ON/OFF O/D button on the dashboard (instead of lever). If we cut the D cable to ECU and connect it to push button, how will it switch between gears ? will it stay in 1st ? In short, is this doable? what will be the consequences ? (engine stall, etc ?) Thanks for enlighten me ...

Hi nigel ... excellent write-up ... If I got third thumb, I'll give you all three thumbs up. After went to l*xtreme where a few self-aclaimed 1uz expert seems to be more business oriented, I'm glad there are still some people here that would like to share their knowledge. One thing that might be interesting for a lot of 1uz lover is how to manualise the auto transmission without additional transmission box (as in plainly connecting cables to push button/etc) Do you happen to know or ever play with such configuration ? I read somewhere in 4x4 forum a while back (forgot the forum name) they simply use the cables from auto-trans solenoid and wired it up to the push button (sadly without details of wiring). Is this doable ? Thanks nigel here is link to example external transmission box that can do the job http://www.gotech.co...&products_id=11 And here's the wiring manual (might help with the idea) http://gotech.co.za/GEARX.pdf Cheers
