Thanks for purchasing and installing the COMPUSHIFT Mini.
If you want to get started quickly, please read theCOMPUSHIFT Mini Quick Install Guide1.
The COMPUSHIFT Mini is a standalone plug-and-play system designed to control the torque converter clutch and
overdrive on selected transmissions including:
GM 700R4
GM 2004R
Chrysler A518 / 46RH
Chrylser A618 / 47RH
Unlike other control modules that use vacuum switches or a simple delay timer, the COMPUSHIFT Mini uses throttle
position and vehicle speed to optimize its shifting and clutch control.
A built-in display and keypad lets the user adjust and tune for their specific application, and diagnose problems
should they occur.
The COMPUSHIFT Mini uses a miniaturized version of same control software and electronics as HGM's COMPUSHIFT
II.

1 Preparing for Your Installation
1.1 Vehicle Preparation
Prior to installation, you should ensure that your powertrain, engine, transmission, drive shaft, rear axle, are all in
good working condition.
The vehicle's electrical system should be properly maintained and working correctly. Battery voltage should be 14.4
- 14.7 volts while the engine is running.
The transmission should shift smoothly and correctly through its gears, and the shift linkage should be correctly
adjusted.
Your transmission must have a properly-calibrated speedometer gear.
COMPUSHIFT Mini uses the industry standard 1000 turns per mile speedometer cable speed to determine
speed.
1.2 A Word About Adjusting the TV Cable
A properly-adjusted TV cable can make a world of difference in transmission and engine performance.
Two things are important for setting the TV cable:
Removing the slack
Proper slack in the cable means that the cable has a little bit of tension with the throttle is closed, but
no so much that it changes in the main line pressure.As soon as the throttle starts to open, the line
pressure should start to increase.
Proper travel in the cable means that the cable extends its full range when the throttle is moved to
the fully open position, but no further.
Setting the travel
If the cable fails to move the full range, then full line pressure won't be reached, the transmission
may slip, and also the shift points may be too low.
A cable that moves too much will cause hard shifts that are too soon, can break the linkage in
transmission, and can also prevent achieving a fully open throttle.
COMPUSHIFT Mini cannot properly operate a malfunctioning transmission. A malfunctioning
transmission may damage COMPUSHIFT Mini and void your warranty.
Your transmission must be properly installed and in good mechanical condition before using COMPUSHIFT
Mini.
A qualified transmission repair shop can inspect, clean, install, and/or rebuild your transmission as
required.
If you have any questions about the condition or type of transmission, please contact a qualified
transmission repair facility, HGM Headquarters, or one of our distributors for a recommendation.

Getting both of these right means having the right combination of cams and arm length on the throttle linkage.
Some accessory kits, like theBowler Tru-Shift2allow full adjustment and correction of TV cable problems.
The COMPUSHIFT Mini is a valuable aid in doing TV cable adjustment because it can display line pressure on screen
in real-time. The cable travel and slack can easily be adjusted to their proper limits because:
When the pressure starts to increase, the slack has been removed.
When the pressure stops increasing, the cable is at its full extension.
1.3 GM 700R4 / 2004R
During the years that GM built these transmissions, a number of different combinations of internal switches and
wiring looms were fitted. The transmission must have a proper internal wiring harness. It must use a 4th gear
pressure switch that is normally open and switches to ground when 4th gear is engaged.
The following are recommended wiring looms:
Rostra350-0045
NATPRO 51870U
TRANSTAR 54425B
The following are recommended 4th gear switches:
NATPRO 51876
TRANSTAR 74411B
1.4 Chrylser A518 / A618
Your engine must have a throttle position sensor in order to use the controller. Aside from being in good, working
mechanical condition, no specific preparation is required for this transmission.
1.5 Additional Planning
Prior to installation, you'll also need to decide:
Where tomount your COMPUSHIFT Mini Controller.
Where to install the firewall grommets for your wiring harnesses.
How toroute the wiring harnessesto the engine and transmission.
1.6 Other Considerations
COMPUSHIFT Mini can provide an electronic signal tooperate an electronic speedometer.
