So about a grand in material, not bad I guess. I did not watch the video yet, and as I am not technically savvy, is this a complete stand alone set up, as it's not monitored by the vehicles electronics? Anyway nice job either way.

Thanks Bert. Yes, complete standalone. Electronically, it's just the voltmeter monitoring the voltage of the position sensor, the switch to actuate the TC shift motor, a kill switch that actuates when I shift out of park, and a relay for master power which switches off when the ignition is off. At the end of the video, I demonstrate the operation.
