I'm hoping someone knowledgeable can help me out here.
I have a 2007 Ranger 4L 4x4 with a 5r55e auto that I'm going to be converting to a VW 1.9TDI.
I have mostly everything sorted out for adapting the engine to the trans etc. However I'm wondering what inputs
I need in order for the transmission to shift? Being this is an electronically controlled trans, is it simply
working off the vehicle speed sensor and some sort of internal hydraulic pressure sensor or does it
need a vacuum input etc?
I do not have any issue with leaving the stop computer in place and piggybacking sensors off the TDI, just
trying to figure out what the bare minimum the trans needs to shift is.
I would like to swap to a 5spd manual, however they're increasingly hard to find as are the 4wd tail-housings (tail shafts)
to go with them.
Thanks!
