As one can see above, Photobucket has been offline to one degree or another if not completely down for the last three or so days. Those vendors relying on the photo-hosting service during this week before Christmas are especially . . . . . moved.
Apparently, during the trans install, I've managed to finish-off a weak/broken conductor of the VSS wiring from the sensor to the firewall (I hope). As such, the speedometer/odometer is dead. Interestingly, the Compushift simply taps into one of the two VSS signal lines a foot or so from the VSS. The Compushift works.
The trans valve-body control of the 3-speed section seems to work very well as it stands. Still have a bit of driving to do to be certain. The Compushift seems to be adequate although I've still a lot of fine tuning to do with it. Hope to do more of that as well as general new build/install shake-down mess. Thinking I might go ahead and hook-up the steering column's gear-shifter's OD button tomorrow.
We'll see.
