A343/442 Question (1 Viewer)

[fjfodee]

I have a '94 with a 442 trans. Recently acquired a '97 that I'm going to use the axles, etc for the '94.


Question is I noticed that the A343 has a handy feature that allows you to start the trans in 2nd. Can that feature be adapted to work on my A442? Has anyone done this, or is there some other mod for the 442 that will yield the same results?


If there is a thread on this...sorry, I overlooked it.

Bueller??

Nobody knows.

My guess: You could hook up a switch that would force the solenoids to select 2nd gear, and it would work just like pulling the lever into the position marked "2".

the start-in-2nd button is a feature of the transmission control unit, not the transmission itself. The A442F TCU lacks that feature, as far as anybody knows.

Compushift maybe?

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know.
