I just wired up another, better switch. It's two, two, two switches in one. A toggle and a momentary, side by side. I wired them up parallel and it works great. My brain on the other hand, not so much. It's like learning to drive all over again, I get the wrong gear about 20% percent of the time. But once I get into the habit, it should be more like 1%

I also installed a tach which is pretty mandatory because I can't hear the engine any more, it's revving so much lower.

I love, love , love the TC lock. And did I mention that I love the TC lock? I always disliked the auto but now I have a semi auto. Close enough.

Quieter, smoother, more betterer. I'm one happy ecomodder

I'd think one of the nice programmer people here could program a controller for you, if you ask nicely.
That would be the icing on the cake but I'm happy to drive it like this for a while. I wonder if this could/would become a popular mod? Open source ETC anyone? ETCguino?
