I have enjoyed your posts and always learn something new. But then of course I don't know squat about transmissions, although I have succesfully replaced clutch parts on my '97 Yamaha YZF motorcycle.
So here's my question, and I'll bet you'll be able to dissect it pretty quickly.
How come there is no aftermarket pushbutton shifter kit? I would love to have this as a switchable option when getting out into the rural areas. Use the automatic tranny for normal driving, but when it's time to play around, hit the switch, and be in complete control of gear selection. Man I would love that!! I would tend to think it's something that could just interface right into the computer controlling the shifting but perhaps there's more to it than that.
