Stand alone 722.6 tcu

So PCS has been working on finalizing the firmware for the 722.6/wa580 transmission the last couple of weeks. I have been driving around like a mad man testing stuff. We are almost complete. Basically we have put in all the parameters that the tcu now knows actual gear ratios and completed gear shifts. This means most importantly that the tcu knows if the transmission is in the correct gear and has the ability to correct if not. It also finishes a shift on gear change complete rather than a set time. This means that the shifts are not only much quicker but also much smoother. It was always a hard balance to play the pressure and shift timer. We also have snow mode working and are working on a few other features that have been messed up with all the changes but the basic transmission operation is really solid now. Even if you manage to mess up the pressures enough that it is missing shifts it keeps trying until the shift has completed. You can also easily diagnose a missed shift in the datalogs, adjust pressures and correct the problem. I think that this will be much easier to tune on new setups. I hope to have the standalone systems with the new firmware available shortly and then on to the CAN bus for installing in factory equipped cars. This will be huge of course for the performance guys that are modifying their cars beyond what the factory tcu can deal with.
