As far as making a computer controlled tranny shift it would depend on the maker. I knew a guy that used double throw electric switches to control shifts on his 94 Plymouth Sundance. The tranny control computer would activate one soenoid while deactivating another to do the shifts so he rigged up his system to take control of it. As far as having smoother shifts from a FMVB you can lift off the gas slightly during shifts or lower the line pressure.
