even with schooling, I know the feeling.
I  checked on junkyard 'diesel' trans controller....somewhere around $75.
I still don't have the foggiest idea what ,on a trans., it actually controls
besides TCC.
It would be nice to see a complete input/output diagram for one.

as for ECM's the 730/727 app I am intersted in (350-V8) is pretty well
hacked so that it is really becoming more a matter of 'tuning' rather than
figuring out stuff (.bin.ecu..etc.)

and I thought GTO stood for gas,tires and oil
