Questioning myself...

If you were going this route, why even bother w/ a TCU? I mean, if you really want Manu-Matic all the time, with no option to shift automatically, why not just delete the TCU and associated wiring/sensors, then use the MM shifter assembly described above, making sure that the micro switches are giving the proper signal to each of the solenoids.

(If the solenoids operate on 12v, make sure they're getting 12v... )
