I need MORE 4L80E info!

[grumpyvette]

ok all you transmission guys, IM also VERY interested in the answers because I purchased a 4L80E to install in my 1985 corvette when I do the swap to the big block engine , because theres no 700r4 thats going to handle the torque numbers that engine will produce, so any info will be greatly appreciated, on how to find cheap ECU/TRANS controllers OR how to modify the 4L80E trans to full manual control. hopefully theres some knowledgeable trans guys on THIS SITE that can help!!?? converters available ? lock up/non-lock-up? performance shift kits? ETC. IM SURE MOST GUYS CAN USE GOOD INFO! heres all the links Ive found......... NO! NOT ALL THOSE QUESTIONS ARE FULLY ANSWERED IN THE LINKS

does anyone have the part number for that manual converion KIT,? or other usefull info?, instructions on the conversion? programing and installation info on the electronic controllers?, part numbers and prices? other options?
does anyone know where a diagram for the connections can be found?
differances between the differant year 4L80E transmissions?
how do the 4L80E trans differ from year to year?

Im leaning towards the $180 manual shift kit as IM TOTALLY sure that a $1000 -$1200 trans controller is WAY -way-totally, criminally, overpriced, especially when I can buy a whole desk top computer with hundreds of times larger capacity for that price, and having been in the electronics buissiness I seriously doubt it cost $70 to manufacture
a manual shift kit will be fine and in an odd way seems like converting to a manual 4 speed like a muncie but without the problem of missed shifts,or pushing a clutch and the clutch linkage install problems or the reballancing of the engine caused by swapping from a flexplate to a flywheel

there APPEARS to be TWO versions, I called TRANSGO, they said NO COMPUTER NEEDED ON THE FULL MANUAL SHIFT KIT

todays modern advertising you can never be too sure but this is lifted from the Performance Automotive and Transmission Center website: http://www.transmissioncenter.net/4L80E.htm

The baddest of the bad, this is a non-electronic 4L80E transmission. Some of the features are: Full manual shifts - the transmission will be in the gear you select and changes to any gear you choose when you move the selector, no computer or wiring needed...

That sure is..

My brother works for ATIperformance, I'll give him a call and see if he will ask any of the rebuilders if they know of any other leads.
