According to the blurb on the compushift, and the Ashcroft website, you can use a D2 Fly by wire throttle pedal potentiometer and a simple inline VSS to facilitate this, the programmimng then is like a mapping run for fuel injection set up.

I agree about computerising an Isuzu equipped vehicle, kind of defeats the purpose in having it really, doesn't it? This is why I still have the LT95 in it....


I wouldn't call the 4HP22 'weak' its just that the 4bD1T is so STRONG

Used 4HP24, ex P38a about $1500, adapters to Isuzu about the same, (I'm not selling mine just yet...) and the compushift set up including pedal etc probably about That again.

I would stick with the LT95
