I don't believe that 200R4 is electronic, other than needing a 12v signal for the Torque converter lockup.
The 4L60E is an electronic version of the 700R4 that debuted in '92 or '93, I think. It does have electronic shifting controls that should permit an electronic shifting setup like you describe. There's a guy in the MegaSquirt EFI community who is trying to develop a stand-alone controller that would allow exactly what you describe -- a way to shift with something like Formula-1 style paddles. If you're interested, head over to www.msefi.com and do a search on 'Megashift'. Lance Gardiner is the guy doing the work. -Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of mike f Sent: Monday, February 21, 2005 8:49 AM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Transmission? Hey D.R, I have a question about the 200-R4. I saw, somewhere, a steering column mounted shifter control switch, if you will. On this setup, you could shift up and down with a flick of the finger. Is the 200-R4 all electronic and would an electric contol like that work well? How does it shift? thanks mike valley view, texas --- "D.R.
