Gearbox control

In modern trucks the manual gearbox is operated electronicly so its a manual gearbox shifting automaticly.

Some information about the 4L80E and 4L60E taken from memory: -Jörgen
Changed:
It is theoretically (!) possible to have GenBoard control the gearbox.
Both transmissions use:
Changed:
benefits are:

* no powerloss cause there's no power converter.

* fast and comfortable changing of gears.

* because shifting is optimal and always the same way the gearbox is operated wear, tear and driver abuse can be roled out or being brought to a minimum.

*3 pressure switches to determine in which position the shift lever is. (add array)

*2 shift solenoids. (add array, resistance and pwm if applicable)

Changed:
Disadvantage:

* no driver interfearance in shifting (well, buttons can be provided)

*1 pressure control solenoid, this is used to soften the shifts at low power. 0% PWM = full pressure = minimal slipping. Find resistance of solenoid and suitable PWM frequency.
Changed:
Inputs: revs, MAP(load), TPS

outputs:clutch Servo motor controller,forward backward gearbox lever servo motor and for left right lever control.

*1 Converter lockup solenoid, current limited with PWM. Find resistance and frequency.
Changed:
Concerns:

* number of outputs and current capabilities (Econoseal-PCB likes max 10A at 85C)

* complex software (!!)

Find pinouts for the most common variants of the transmissions.
