Anyone work been done on the Ford 4R70W???? I'm installing a 4.6 DOHC from a 94 Mark VIII in my street rod, with MS2 controlling the engine and would like to do trans as well.

Re: 4R70W
I will be helping a friend with a 4r70w install, and will be using this trans control code. I have spoken to James about it, and the plan is for the to be easily supported.
In operation it is almost like the GM transmissions, possibly a bit simpler, so shouldn't really be a problem.

Re: 4R70W
I run a GPIO with James' code in it. I have a 2v 4.6 running on MS3, connected to a 4r75w trans run on GPIO connected over CAN to MS3 in my 1964 F100 truck I built. I used Ashford's write up http://www.msgpio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=635 as a guide to building my GPIO and it works well. I completely did away with the VR circuit for output shaft speed and went with Jean's Dual VR Board. http://jbperf.com/dual_VR/v2_1.html
With James' code it works great. I still need to spend some time with it and dial in a few things, but all the tweaky issues I had with Megashift are gone with James' code. It works very well!
