EV Automatic Gearbox Controller Project

Thought I'd start a thread on a new project I have just begun. Plan is to develop an open source arduino based controller for automatics. The ZF 5HP24 is my first victim as I need it for a new conversion project but also plan on looking at the 5HP18 and the CAN bus controlled 6HP26.

First installment is a general intro and look at the flexplate coupler design :

very cool, do you forsee doing away with the torque converter before it is all sorted out?

The efficiency curve is my main reason for asking...

Why not just use direct drive and eliminate losses?
