what gear selector cable did you use with the shifter?
The one from the same car?
Thanks!

3.73 rear. I bought one with the cable attached, so OEM. I just had to fashion a small bracket to attach to the transmission to hold the other end of the cable.

Yes, I change gear at will but it's a "dumb" shift so I don't do it under any real load. Low is helpful to show off really. MUCH more torque in low but only good (in my car) up to about 65 mph. Thanks!

Yes, this one is cable driven and I use it move the gear selector. Bonus, when I drop in L, it shifts the transmission into Low. I'm using the B position on the gear selector to power a relay that grounds SL1/2.

that will have to go as well. I'll be carless.

Crazy as it may be, I think I will need to sell this car. I'm listing my house and won't have any place for it. I have no idea how to even begin to value it.

Those coolant bottles for electronics and battery look like came from the Chevy Bolt. I purchased one to use in my conversation too. Could you please share which connector you've used for the coolant level sensor? Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing the transmission will not fit, I have a built T5 in there that needed the tunnel modified to fit.
As I'm not limited to a shifter hole I should be able to keep moving it forward until I get the desired elevation and driveline angles.
As I have an 8.8 solid rear on leaf springs I'm ...

Also, I finally got around to changing my get_torque code to incorporate @Bryson one-pedal(ish) driving code. Wow! What a difference it makes in the smoothness of my drivetrain! Thanks @Bryson !

A bit from Electrify Expo in Austin, though we had crappy weather this year.

What is your battery voltage and your precharge dc switch voltage settings? I also get this error (thottle12diff) on when throttle is pressed below half, could you be having a solution for this?


I am using the GS450h VCU, not the Zombiverter if that matters. My voltage is 252-344 empty to full ...

I have not had any issues with the contactors thus far. I think I pull maybe 550 amps peak.

Even when we say "finished", are we really ever truly done? Needed to make a special tool to change out the front springs on the 660e.

Great fun with one of our own on his DIY EV YouTube channel.

I think most of us are winging it. I have no programming, electronics, or fabrication skills beyond what is self taught. I've learned just enough of each thing to do the things I need to do. We totally get it.

You don't really need to connect the gearbox solenoid connector at all, unless you want to be able to change between Low and High. I run my oil pump at 35% and I've never noticed any slipping. You can try turning off the PWM when MG1_spd gets over a certain point (say 1000rpm), but not sure how ...

How does your tach currently receive the signal for RPMs? I am sending MG2 Spd to an Arduino and displaying that on a custom Nextion display. But knowing how your tach works is the starting point.

check out this thread in Projects. He's got a complete GS450h

there should have been a long skinny radiator as well. Good for running the coolant loop through the electronics. I second the shifter since the throw is already perfect for the gear selector on the side of the tranny. Maybe you can incorporate it into a custom center console. Having all the ...

I believe the one with the red dot (pink?) is positive but it's been some time since I worked on this bit. If you spin the transmission up, you can read the voltage off the leads (AC if I remember correctly).

Hi, I read on another thread somewhere you were exploring using the GS450H VSS to drive your Speedo. Did you achieve this? If so, how? Thanks


Yes, I have a digital signal converter that drives my mechanical speedometer. The GS450h has a 15 tooth exciter ring and you have to know things like ...

Made some business cards to hand out for car shows. Weather permitting, I'll be at Electrify Expo - Austin next week!

A quick update: I have the car mostly stripped. The dang ICE motor is still in it though for the time being. Have ordered an Inverter + transmission from Sendico but it has not been a straight forward process. We'll see if/when I get them and how much they cost. A side note- I found some Enerdel ...
