Fly by wire shifting... yee haww
So, in theory, a 4 pole toggle switch and an on-off-on momentary toggle switch could work.. If you're good at wiring that is...![]()
Reading some of the issues people have with these transmissions not working properly even with the factory shifter I'm not sure I'd want to TRY. But DAMN it's cool as hell in some ways too.
Easy to adapt in place of the 545?
Not sure what I'd have to do yet. But I think I'd have to send the wiring harness back into Hotwire and Chris would update it for the 8HP70/5
And I'd guess reprogram the PCM? But not sure about any of this yet.
Let me get the Hemi swap with the 545RFE done first. Jeff ( @NashvilleTJ ) has been happy with his transmission and I'm coming from having the 44RE/46RE so we'll see what I think of the 545.
