Cheap enough. Wiring schematics?

Power Wheel shifters have 2 DPDT switches in them and they actually have "logic" built into them. With only 2 shifters you should be able to control 1-2-D with one shifter and then 4th and "OD" (TCC Lock up) with the other one.

I'm just not sure I understand the appeal of converting an electronically shifted automatic transmission into a full manual box. I get the 80e's are strong, and many use them in carbed apps. I get the stand alone controllers can be expensive (to some), but why not just get a turbo 400 with a full manual valve body or pony up for an 80e with a controller so you can enjoy overdrive and not having to shift all the time.

You have so much tuneability with shift points, and converter lockup, etc with an electronically shifted automatic.
