@@NickInTimeFilms man, you never fail to impress me! I only hope to get one of my Jeeps going good enough so I can wheel with you sometime and not be too embarrassed.
Sweet!. Heres an idea for you the might possibly work a manual shift boot and bezel will fit right in a automatic console (I've done it to mine) the boot might take care of the height of that.
Hey man I definitely want this in mineshaft. I would totally buy that same shifter. I would put it where you show and swap to a comanche foot parking break. If you need an OBD2 vehicle for testing hit me up. I can bring mineshaft over for you to play with.
The customer this went too was obd2 and so far sounds like its working great! So pumped to get these rolling, but beta assembly has been taking a while. Message me if you want in early!
@@NickInTimeFilms Hes a really noligable person! I'm glad he lives in the same town as me makes it such a convenience. But looking forward to your prototype! And fisrt set up!
Why don't you call it TimeMatic? It shows your nickname on it, easy to remember.. It explains that you can select your desired gear anytime you want it. It just my opinion... Awesome job Nick
have you considered making the Renix engine harness? if you can get one cheap, get it and open all the wraps and looms and see what a POS that harness is. there are soldered joints in it that are wrapped in duct tape!! from the factory or the Jeep contracted vendor back then. there is also the c101 connector...and some of the soldered joints....were not even soldered. joined with a crimped ring!
Lol, I don't even enjoy the concept of making a foot long jumper harness, I'm def not getting into the business of making full replacement engine harnesses, haha.
Hypothetical would it be possible to put a gear vendors overdrive kit with the automatic transmission of a Jeep XJ just an idea I don't know how well it would work or where you would attempt to hook it up my brain is telling me you would have to separate the transmission and transfer case and put it right there it would basically work like a brownie box but I don't know thank you in advance
Well the first question would be why? An external Overdrive would be like adding a 5th gear, and my jeep can barely handle 4th with the TC locked so ain't no way I'm ever going fast enough to benefit from that. If you're just looking to change all your rpm ranges then a much better solution is to just regear the axle to what you need. An interesting fact, the Renix era AW-4 has a taller Overdrive which means it drops the rpms lower but makes the engine lug more. In 91 with the HO, they shortened the overdrive to give you more umph on the highway and if I had the chance i'd probably swap over to one.
Looks like it could be hard to mount that in a good comfortable place but awesome once you do. I was going to ask an REM question also. Does the ECM get it's vacuum reading from the map sensor? I get 16 to 17 vac at idle but 1 to 3 on the highway.
Yes. So the vac reading is actually the Map sensor minus the Baro which is map before start. It's just zeroed to the atmosphere, which fun fact, will start reading funny if you are going threw huge elevation changes. Vac is related to TPS in a way since the more it's open, the less restriction and thus less vacuum. WOT is technically only restricted by how efficiently the engine can move the air through it.
@@NickInTimeFilms I'm at sea level pretty much, 20 minutes from the beach. It's done good up until my last drive home from work. 370 mile drive, decided to puke out 4 quarts of oil 100 miles from home in the middle of nowhere. Got home, hasn't lost any oil since. I want to rebuild it as a stroker like yours but need another vehicle to get around while I do.
In the kind of shifter in the video, what happens if you set the system to manual when doing 60mph on the highway and the lever is in, let's say, 2nd? With the sequential it's easy to always start in 4th, since it's not in a fixed position. (This is answered at 16:50, but still a good question) that data feed has to be VERY reliable.
And to further add, we can always use logic to our advantage. The unit will know what gear the transmission is in at all times, so when it is flipped to manual mode it could copy the tcu until a new gear is selected. The main safety idea for now is a full kill switch that must be activated before the manual mode can be triggered. There is always some inherent risk involved with modifying a vehicle, and the end user should understand the consequences of added capability.

Really awesome. Way more advanced than what I have now, but mine does what I need anyway. I'd love to have the screen for D and manual modes :D
I’d love to use a racing sim sequential shifter like a thrust master and mount it in the center console. Think this is possible? They make USB versions would it be able to just plug right into the computer allowing for a toggle feature or think it need to be taken apart and modded? $120 is a lot to spend on something that I’m not even sure I could get to work cause electronics are pretty far outside of my realm lol
Fancy looking stuff. I can try to look deeper if you have a link to a specific one.This kit that I'm working on reads the buttons directly, so no fancy business is needed on the joystick end. I'm not sure how hard it would be to directly interface over the USB, but that is something I might look into for ease of use! "Oh crap, I left my joystick at home, but atleast I brought my mouse!" hahaha.
NickInTimeFilms www.ebay.com/itm/Sequential-Shifter-DimSim-/182496657060 maybe something along these lines. I don’t know if it’s even possible when it comes to electronics I’m pretty clueless but feel like if you could make a simulator style shifter work it would open up the door for a lot more people looking for clean professional looking installs. And like you said the whole mouse idea maybe left click up shift and right down shift lol.
I think the question should be the other way around. Is there anything you wish you could do with your obd1 rig? Currently the biggest card on the table is obviously an ECU scanner, but that is not in my near future road map. I have an aw4 scanner, but have not made a plug and play adapter yet. Soon to be shift controller for aw-4s. Fan controllers for custom cooling needs. Not too many other systems I can think of besides that.
@@NickInTimeFilms see. I am watching you and this stuff I thought was solely for the Xj/ renix. I would love to be able to manually control my shifting in my 01 Wj!
OK, so I tried doing some digging into the 46re service manual, and it's not looking fun. So, there look to be 3 solenoids, but it's very different from the aw-4. Sounds there is the main governor solenoid which is in charge of gears 1-3. It sounds like it is controlled by the ground line via pwm, where my current setup is 12v control. Somehow by regulating the output pressure you can choose a gear? There is an overdrive solenoid to grab 4th, as well as a tc solenoid for lockup which are both simple on/off but also ground controlled. Without some deep digging into how it all operates, I'm gonna say that's a "not really" for now.
Haha, I am VERY particular with what I like from Apple. I despise the iPhone completely, and the new computers can rot in hell. Some of the old stuff when Jobs was still kicking was aight though. No viruses and the thing actually frigging works
