Hello fellow PT’ers
Posting this as a new topic in electrical section as I was unable to find a similar thread/post and none of the other groups had overlap.
The issue I am having concerns setting up the Dakota GS-3000 drive mode signalling mechanism. The one that mounts to the automatic transmission pan. It appears to be a rotary encoder of sorts to signal the DD control box based on position of the gear detent.
I have an m40 in my GTO (TH400) but run an aftermarket B&M shifter. The GS-3K has a rod-end and fixture plate the mounts of the detent itself. However, in my scenario I am uncertain whether trying to bolt in DDs fixture plate and rod-end will even fit, much less provide signalling. [emoji15]
Further, my install already has dowels to move the cable mounting plate away from the trans pan - so once again unsure if the plate to hold the rotary encoder will even bolt up?
A couple of pics - to help illustrate.
207913 pic of trans/cable linkage as it is today.
207914 a 2nd pic from the underside (bolts are Allen key type).
207915 DDs GS-3000 kit - fixture plate is the small triangular piece in the middle row - dead center (smallest piece). There are other brackets that may work.
Hoping someone may have a solution I can adapt or utilize.
Many thanks!
