This video discusses using a 4l80e transmission without computer control. Note that the video says the transmission will bolt in - what is meant is that it will bolt to the engine. The drive shaft was shortened and a crossmember was fabricated out of a piece of c-channel steel. Some 2 inch diameter pipe was cut to length and used as spacers for the fabricated crossmember to give the proper height under the rear of the transmission.
MegaShift has a pinout for the transmission connector:

For first gear, you ring this here doorbell button. Then when you’re ready for second gear, you gotta pull this ceiling fan string. Then for third gear, ya gotta press the lever down on this 1956 bread toaster. And for the overdrive lockup, you screw in this here lightbulb.

Late to the party. But you can't lock converter in 1st with a 80. If I remember right, it uses the fluid from 1st gear to lock the converter. But 2nd, 3rd, and 4th it can be locked.

great work. do you know where their is a wiring schematic for this mod. im thinking about putting a 4l80e in a 1990 truck with a old 350 edelbrock carb, hei distributor. for a small point of interest. use a ardunio to control the actual shifting. that is a 5v board but with transistors and diodes could control a 12v system. the tach line could control the shift point. and with a additional switch. manual control is possible or with multiple control switches different shift points could be programmed. lots of options.

@mannfamilyMI

Douglas with my setup u use the switches. There is a way to do this where you use just the shifter and it's simple. There is another set of switches in the transmission that the ecu uses to see what gear the gear selector is in. You can figure out how to use those switches to replace the dash switches. You need to think about how my switches work and then look up info on the internal switches and wire them so that when the gear selector changes it activates the solenoids.

Not sure what your views are in life, but alot of vaccines contain products made from aborted fetus, as well as organs of people even. Stuff is straight up poison, insane to treat something that hasn't happened by making your body more toxic, all for the sake of nothing but fear and ignorance.

I think you should create a "paddle shift" style system on the steering wheel. Using your forefingers to press paddles to upshift and downshift, with paddles or buttons on both sides of steering wheel, or mod a paddle system from a late model car. I can see your system turned into a serious performance quick shifting system, exactly like paddle shifters.

I wrote the how to article on this a couple years ago. I did it with a 4L60e when my ecm fried out. Didn't use light switches though. I used the neutral safety switch on the shift detent, a single momentary toggle switch, and a b&m quick silver ratchet shifter. Had all 5 gears (4 forward plus reverse) and torque converter lockup. And didn't have to flip light switches. Technically what you end up with is an analog computer.

I´d rather you talk to much and be clear than rush through. Light switches are a nice touch lol. Well done. So, when you have all the selenoids on you can basically manually shift up AND down? The full line pressure does no harm does it? The old 700 you couldn't do that as it would also determine shift points of that TV cable. I've got a couple of 4l80's I was considering for a personal project and a customer car. This might well get me over the top. The cool thing to wire up would be something off the side of the shifter that makes contact with each selenoid switch combination that corresponds with the gear. You follow? That way you basically turn it into an auto box with manual shifting but by the same way the computer would have so no worries. The feel of a manual valve body...

I like an old all steel vehicle, not the weak things of today. This guy's got brains, me too but I have a broken back so I'm usually broke so I look for solutions like this one for my old steel!! I work on and drive stuff just like this here man. Never have to make payments on the old stuff, sure I've had a few newer vehicles in my time and when they quit I always go back to the old GM stuff, always and at that I'm quickly and reliably back on the road for minimum dollars using legit hacks quite similar to this. Peace!

The solenoids need to be grounded with the switches. The transmission needs a 12v+ line that feeds it when the ignition is turned on (Pin E on the transmission connector). Solenoid A is Pin A on the transmission connector. This is grounded through one of the switches. Solenoid B is Pin B on the connector, also grounded through a switch. The torque converter lockup is Pin S, and it also needs to be grounded through a switch. I do not have any resistors connected at all.

Probably 8 years too late, but you don't actually have to do any of this. You can ground the solenoid control wires to each other so that the only input you need is 12v power and the shifter itself. That way whatever gear you put the gear lever in is what gear the transmission is in. All you've gotta do is cut up a GM transmission pigtail

Are you sure about that? “In the absence of the PCM to control solenoid operation, you can use the pressure manifold assembly to substitute the necessary ground signals to energize the solenoids in the proper combination to provide full manual control.” atracom.blob.core.windows.net/gears/2015/2015-03/2015_3_32.pdf You need the ground to the solenoid to change based on the gear selector location. You can use the shifting truth table at the beginning of the linked article and wire the pressure manifold switches in a specific way so that the transmission shifts as expected, but you can’t just ground the solenoids to each other in my experience.

@@mannfamilyMI I just did it on my own vehicle with a 4l80e swap. I'd have to look up the pins again or crawl back under the car, but by soldering 3 wires together in one circuit on the pigtail, and 2 wires together in another circuit, you end up with full manual control via the shifter. Then all you have to run is a key switched 12v source via the pink power input wire, and a switched 12v supply to pin S for converter lockup if you're so inclined. There's a tutorial video on it floating around on KZbin.

@@kylefunston484 yeah you probably connected the pressures manifold switches to the solenoids. But if you ground both solenoids only at the same time your tranny should be in 4th gear. Your original comment made it sound like you could just ground A solenoid to B solenoid and apply power, that would be 3 wires only. I don’t think that would work, and I didn’t want someone to be confused after they tried it and it didn’t work.

I use a forced 4 shift box, its basically the same concept except allows a tiptronic or paddle shift, just electronic control of the solenoids instead of the light switches but your version is free 😁

It wouldn't be all that hard to make a custom floor shifter , example when you put the shifter in the first gear position it flips your 2 solonoid switches into the correct positions sol A on/up and sol b off/down Shift the floor shifter into 2nd andit automatically flips your switches for you

Dude find a wiring diagram of how transmission shops wire (ground) the internal wiring to the solenoids to full manual shift, so they can Dyno a newly rebuilt 4l80e transmission's without a computer. It's simple basically no money spent, and the information is all over the net. Yes it will be full line pressure also, but at least your bathroom light won't come on when you are traveling.!!!

Instead of swapping out the manual trans, you shoulda just fixed the herniated disk in your back... All you need to fix your herniated disk is a pair of channel locks, a wire coat hanger, 8” piece of chicken wire, and a roll of dental floss.

So dan mann your way do you only switch ground solonoids a and b and lockup? Is pressure manifold wires a b and c constantly grounded ....or are they wired in solonoid a with pressure manifold wires a and b then switched to ground and solonoid b with pressure manifold c wire switchd to ground? Basically are all 3 pressure manifold wires constantly grounded to be a closed circuit or are they part of the switched setup??? Dan mann or anybody that has done this im at a pause till i get an answer

@dougjones - yes I think you could do this. Four things I would be concerned with: trans temp if the converter is unlocked, lugging the engine, computer throwing codes, and warranty. But if you have those bases covered and are adventurous I think you could do it. You may also be able to have someone tune that behavior out alltogether in the computer. - Dan
