Cougar,
I just sent you an E-mail on that bracket you need for your swap.

I dI'd the 47rh swap. You don't want a pressure switch. It falls in and out at virtually the same pressure. This will cause the lu to dart in and out at a certain speed which is beyond annoying.

You want and adjustable pressure transducer. It will fall out about 10 psi bellow the lock in pressure. I think mine came at 50psi. Don't remember more.. I think you want it to close at the pressure and not open.

not all pressure switches are like that. I have an adjustable pressure switch that the turn on pressure is higher than the turn off pressure. I believe its a Hobbs unit. I haven't used it yet but checked it with regulated air pressure.

In order to appease the wife, I've ordered a Compushift Mini. They are building one specific to my application. Nice of them.

Their "off the shelf" version is built around gas engines. They are reprogramming the chip for the lower RPM diesel, different pressure switch, and a matching connector for the stock TPS.

I was kinda nervous about welding a strip on the back of the transmission mount plate and lengthening the the slots as in the FAQ. I was talking to a friend about it and he has a friend with a computerized plasma cutter. So he made me a new plate with the slots moved back an inch.
