Christ.... Mike we talk on the regular but I just saw this.
I could be wrong but I bet it isn’t all that hard. With about 1/2 hour of playing around I got the car to start and the speedo works with the trans completely unplugged. All I did was short out pin 30(blk/gry) to pin 35(wht/gry). I was able to put the trans in gear and still had forward and reverse. I think forward is 3rd gear. The engine shut off fine but the car wouldn’t completely shut off. It would take a little time to get past that. Might even take a relay pair of relays connected to the 4l80e gear switch to trick the factory tcm.

All that being said I am not ready to give up on the 8sp.
