Wait - I see a problem here, already. If 1st gear is OFF OFF, any time you move between gears using the selector, the solenoids engage 1st gear. This would be BAD.

The solution there is to just wire it so in between shifts you are in D and the computer takes over decision making... and shift fast. It does defeat the neutral between gears but like I said, if that's on a floor shifter, I can just pop into neutral with my hand on the shifter to match the next gear. I'm good with that. It's 90% manumatic without some crazy actuators or something. It's the reaching and flipping that stupid lever that chafes my hide.
My hope here is to get away from the tree shifter. Even if it becomes a floor shifter with standard gears ( fairly simple to install and actuate.) and a 6 pos. rotary switch like the Toyota nation post, that would be pretty darn good. p-r-n-d are easily and comfortably at hand and 1-2-3-OD+TCC are on the switch.
I think I'm probably going to go with a rotary or lever switch in the end for simplicity's sake if neutral can't be had between shifts. It was a cool idea but too much trouble. Being in drive between shifts would be annoying.
