Anybody running an automatic with an EMS?

[suprahero]

I'm going to remove my r154 and install a built a340 that I've already paid for. I've also ordered a suprastick electronic shifter. http://latentsolutions.com/suprastickuv.html . I was told by Garrett @ Latent solutions that my tranny had to be manual line pressure controlled, and I was told by the guy I'm buying the tranny from that it is. Hopefully this won't be too hard of an install, but who knows.
I was wanting to hear from any of you that have did this to see what you used to control your shift points. The guy I'm buying the tranny from had it in an s14 using the stock 1jz ecu. Any advice or pointers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks., Jay

I was just kidding. I don't really have a problem with this, but I was feeling a bit lonely and thought I'd use this thread as an excuse to chat back and forth with a few upstanding supra owners. Unfortunately, that didn't work either. Have a nice day.

HI Jay! Long time no see. I see age has finally caught up to you.

 

[suprahero]

Finally? It catches up to me every day. This is the oldest I've ever been.

How much for your r154??? No bellhousing unless it is a jz housing. IF you are wanting/willing to sell.

 

[suprahero]

I haven't made up my mind about selling it yet. I want to make sure I get the auto running with no bugs first.

I love boobies.........especially when theyre jumping up and down.....lol

Careful not to let this get NWS on us...

Kinda had me wondering a bit there Jay. Autos can be fun if they're manually controlled. I've never been a fan of them downshifting or upshifting without me telling it to...

My suprastick came in today. Now all I need is the plug that plugs into the transmission that will have the SS wired into it. I found someone willing to make one for a hundred dollars, but that seems a bit high. Unfortunately I can't find anybody that has one. I guess I'll be ordering it from him soon.

The good thing about the suprastick Brad, is that it can be shifted manually with the cruise control paddle.

Only Up....

Only up? Down shifts are for when you're slowing down anyways.............lol

Yep mechanical limitation of the 340, can't engine brake on downshifts.

Never been in a car with one. Does it hold a gear until you hit the button to upshift then?

Always found driving like that easier for hills, slowing down for an anticipated stop, cooling the engine off, etc... Very much prefer having complete control over the trans.

I'm starting to think the LS400 (and possibly the MkIV by extension) might have a different version of this transmission then. Drop a gear or two in the LS, and you will slow down, quite a bit if you drop into 1st.

Drop a gear in a 7M/340 via the buttons and it'll freewheel till road speed drops or engine speed raises, doesn't matter which controller you use.

I much prefer the PCS to the SSv4 having used both.

I have this kit and have had for over 3 years. Never found or heard of anyone over here in the UK that got it to work. Mine still sits the garage where it has been since i got it. Very frustrating.
