so does it come with the 2 buttons??? if it does than whats the paddle set up

 

[project_tsi]

That is awesome. Really opens up a lot of new doors for AT owners. Not a bad price either.

He is still developing the paddles in order to shift. So for now he did what was easiest and designed it to work with two small buttons. It was basically so he could get it out quicker and not have to wait for the design of the paddles to be done and made.

 

[johnfsmith]

He's also made a plug & play option for easy install

Has anyone installed this and used it yet?

A few guys that helped with testing it. He's just started selling them and I'm first on the list! I would have had it this weekend but he decided to do a plug and play kit for it so I decided to wait and I'll have it this week. I'll post back on how it goes.

I have 2 TCUGO in my 2 cars. One in my drag car and one in my winter beater.
With the new pressure selenoid it's awesome. You could drive like a ferrari in the street with a stock tranny without make damage to it.
For my drag talon, I use a built tranny with TCUGO at stage 5 (full pression). I could rev at 9000rpm and shift when I want with any problem.
I have the little buttom back of my steering wheel. This buttom is ready to receive the paddles. When the paddles will ready you will use you buttom you will received with the TCUGO.

Very good product.

Do you have any better photo's of the paddles? That would be very nice.

 

[johnfsmith]

I just got mine installed and love it! It's a great mod and recommend it.

Here's a link to a review I did of it... Hope this helps!

How does it handle downshifts? Did you get the buttons for shifting and curious where / how you mounted them

 

[turbolover2]

Can it be used as a standalone without the factory TCU?

checkout their website at http://www.tcugo.com/

I didn't like the wireless buttons being on the wheel so I mounted a single axis minature joysick by the shifter and hard wired in in and works great for me. The downshifts work great and it wont let you downshift if the rpm's are too high

 

[johnfsmith]

I'm not sure... You can turn it on and off so I'd think that you could but it may have to be wired a little different. contact them at [email protected] , he's very helpful and if he needs to do something special for it to work standalone I'm sure he would

I hope they are available. I just emailed to see if he can overnight me one Monday.
