My Auto to Tiptronic conversion (finally after 2 years)

This is another Supra old wives tale.

 

Suprastick works fine with the N/A auto trans, I have one on mine, £250 + 2 buttons and you are flappy paddling.

BUSTED

I am installing the stronger T.T. auto trans into my my N/A as part of the Supracharger conversion.

The T.T. trans has additional solenoids for electronic line pressure control which the Suprastick cannot manage, so I plan to hybridise the two, fitting the N/A valve body and cable controlled line pressure feed to the T.T. box.

I will be sorting this out sometime in the next couple of weeks, all info will be posted in my project thread.

With both boxes, the engine brake bands are controlled manually by the stick, with electronic gear changes engine braking only works in 3rd, if you want it in 2nd, just use the stick.

Ok on saturday i fitted the steering wheel and Boss kit along with the Tiptronic Paddles, display and steering buttons (which still needs to be wired up as i ended up with a migrain and still have not ventured out of the house today).

 

Here is a couple of pictures of what it looks like currently.

Does anyone know if the standard Auto shifter can be converted to a push down type rather than the side button? Its another thing i want to change to make it look a bit more pleasing on the eye :)

 

I dont need to worry about the O/D button anymore as you can program the new kit to use O/D as a 4th gear :D so dont need a shifter knob with one incorporated.

 

I would like something like this...http://www.carmate-usa.com/html_razo/razo_shift_at_quick.htm

You might prefer the now discontinued Levoc shifter, designed specifically for the Supra and has an O.D. button.

Google it, there is a company in AU that might have one left in stock.

Soarers and Mk1 Aristos have been converted to use the gate shifter out of an LS400.
