zedhex Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Hi all, Unfortunately I've had a continuing problem with my left hand for many years (it was caused by a motorcycle accident damaging the nerves and tendons), and it's getting worse as the years go by. Driving with a manual transmission is becoming more and more painful, and it's getting to the point where I have to do something about it. For that reason I'm gonna have to do the very unusual step of converting from a manual transmission to an automatic. I'm currently running a 1JZ engine with a GT3076 turbo, an R154 gearbox and an ECUMaster stand-alone engine control. I still have my old auto box sitting in the back of the shed, but to put it back on the car, I'm going to need an auto transmission controller. I used to have a Suprastick which would have done the job perfectly fine, but I sold it long time ago. One other alternative might be to somehow wire in the original ECU, but how would that work if it wasn't also controlling the ignition? Does anyone have any recommendations? I know that Syvecs do one, but I don't happen to have 3 grand lying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 You can fit a factory ecu and use the standalone as a piggy back. Obviously it will need splicing into the harness, or a patch lead, but I think that would be your cheapest option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagman Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I do have a suprastick and display and an uprated autobox supra/soarer hybrid and oil cooler ,maybe a deal on your manual box and i would go manual -although i might break the R154 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagman Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Also I have a flappy paddle steering wheel , and a laminova oil cooler , the box has a temp sensor in sump and the oil cooler an electric fan -the job lot for a conversion (box is also shimmed) (david P rebuild) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
