well while waiting on body shop (the cab is finally in for primer and painting.... hallelujah!!!!!) got to looking at my bump shifter idea and scrapped it. Well come to find out someone has designed one for the corvette 6l80e transmissions at RA designs in Washington state using a winters art carr transmission shifter setup. I got the switch kit to mount in the shifter in just waiting on the winters shifter specific for the Allison 1000 transmission to come in but really nice quality on the bump shifter switches and indicator plate. here are a few pics... the circuit board I had made for my particular setup since the Allison uses its own resistor range setup for the trucks (truck 6l80e/6l90e use the same resistor ranges). It has taken multiple resistors tries to get it within .01 k ohms of the GM specs but I finally got it. the truck tap shifter ranges are: 1.87 k ohm upshift, 2.97 k ohm down shift (1.87 + 2.10 k ohm) and total resistance across the circuit is 6.84 k ohm (1.87 + 2.10 +2.87 k ohm resistors in series) so tickled to see this thing work like I know it will. considering the mountainous area I am in it will be a big boon having this moving back to texas lol. next project will be after shifter arrives to integrate it into the existing terrain console and make it look good. hopefully by that time my garage heaters is fixed and 90% of the body parts are curing in the garage at a nice balmy 85 degrees
