I have not heard of anyone using the solstice box yet but you intrigue me. I will look into it. Like I said I will come out with another attempt at this but with a different control unit and I am going to attempt to do all three trannys a340e, a650e and a761e. But anyone who reads this please note that all of my future works from this point will be behind SC Factory which we are here in Orlando Florida. Me and my bud got tired of no support for SC's so we are gonna fix that problem. Check out our facebook and instagram if anyone else reads this. also suppose to be working on getting the website up today. so look out.

Just read through this. Had a great laugh when I read your “revelation post” lol
I am surprised you didn’t try SC3’s idea of using a 98-00 SC400 TCU almost like a piggyback? I’m wondering if you gave this any thought and whether sitting here now, you think that it may have worked?
I’m a big proponent of automatics and DCTs but the big downfall is the tuning. Using a factory TCU seems the best way to have your cake and eat it too. Physically, you got everything working flawlessly, it’s just the electronics that needed putting right. The 30-40 pound difference between the two boxes is nothing compared to the torque unlocked by the gearing. It would have been faster, and I was really looking forward to seeing by just how much faster.
In any event, GREAT effort and I hope you take on more challenges in the future!
