Product Description:

The Powertrain Control Solutions, LLC. Universal Automatic Transmission Controller is a fully programmable transmission control system. Through a friendly PC Windows interface users are able to program transmission settings based on speed, engine load, engine speed and other parameters. This powerful unit allows users to control every type of electronic automatic transmission from Ford, Nissan, GM, Toyota, Chrysler and many other manufacturers (ex. Ford AOD-E, GM 4L60E). Automatic transmissions have been mass produced only in electronic versions for many years without a satisfactory aftermarket solution. Finally, Powertrain Control Solutions, LLC. offers a product to control these readily available transmissions both in new vehicles and custom built vehicles. Our unique approach to engineering in this field allows this unit to control all types of electronic automatic transmissions at a low cost. Therefore we are able to produce a unit to control more transmissions and with greater capability than our competition.

How to develop a new transmission application:

Powertrain Control Solutions is very interested in developing new transmission applications. To support a new transmission, Powertrain Control Solutions needs to obtain wiring harness information and the shift logic for your transmission (which can usually be found in the factory service manual for your transmission). If you are interested in working with Powertrain Control Solutions to accommodate a transmission not currently supported, please call or email us at sales@powertraincontrolsolutions.com.

I dont see the BTR listed as a supported model

Thats because were working on a custom calibration, to support the BTR's... its in progress, but we're also fitting a turbo kit to the test car so stay tuned

FPV_GTp your running a wolf v500 ???????
because you dont have to spend anything for the auto if you are , i fixed that problem 12,000 ks ago

true,

I helped robbie @ wolf get the v5 working with the BTR's

works great , took me a fair bit of time but now with my own rewrite its better than the original ecu, fully programable and totally stand alone

Hi xfpaul , no still with the previous model Wolf V4 plus

What are your services worth them ?

cheers

Ok , spoke to Steve and Rob at Wolf on Monday and defiantly their not interested in releasing to the marketplace the Wolf V5 to operate the BTr4 automatic transmission side by side with the engine due to some issues.

The few that are scatted out in the market place are having issues and Steve and Rob are not interested in wasting time away from their main work and not being paid for it. So all testing is being done in-house at Wolf engine management systems.

Wolf engine management systems is not wanting any customers suing them for any legal liability that may occur to their BTr4 automatic transmission.

Whinging and unhappy customers constantly telephoning Wolf for support.

Seems the wolf is having troubles for what ever reason unexplained to me , the wolf can't maintain switching the solenoids and specially controlling the S5 solenoid and maintain constant control of line pressure. Erratic behaviour is occurring.

Very hard shifts from first to second gear and then very lazy shifts from first to second , seems some control issues needs serious addressing.

The transmission control via a Wolf V5 is still being done but what time frame it is anyone's guess. From what Rob has implied there is some form of additional electronics needed to maintain full control and not have things change due to what ever reason it does on its own.

So the PCS computer controlling the automatic seems the one to use if it is capable of control the BTr4 automatic transmission amongst the field of many other automatic transmission controllers. Do you homework wisely.



cheers

Hi .............. any updates on the trnas_controller ????



cheers

So, would it be possible, if not actually easy to hook one of the EA / EB TCM's to run the BTR pretty much as a stand alone unit?

There's not THAT many inputs that needto be brought in, I have a list at home at those required. The only stumbling block I can remember is the Input and Output for the diagnostics....

So will it work?

sorry to bring up such an old thread, but if one was to opt for the full manual option, and also opt for disabling S3-S5 as a form of shift kit (and possibly S6 as i hear it can be done also), can we not just disable S1 and S2 also and control them externally?

this could be done quite simply using either a mictro controller or even latching relays (this would require a button for each 4 forward gears) or any other numerous ways of controlling the solenoid combination.
bare in mind i am talking about use in say a situation of spirited driving, of course a switch or two would be added to enable or disable the S1/S2 and S3-S6 solenoids for normal use separately, but from what i've read, this seems to be a viable option.

connect hook up wire into each wire, connect to breadboard in car, hook up leds , go for a drive, vola then you know the gears and set up some switches

i know the combos for each gear, im just wondering why there seems to be so little that have attempted anything like this...

sorry if this has been covered, i dont have a working car atm, hot much current does the S1/S2 solenoids use when in operation?
