The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.
A forum for discussing applications and implementations of the MegaShift transmission controller code for the GPIO from B&G. This can control up to 8-speeds and 6 shift solenoids (plus a 16x9 table for controlling a PWM line pressure valve). It has manual and fully automatic modes (16x9 load x speed table), with under and over rev-limit protection, and full data logging of all inputs and outputs (among many other abilities). A TransStim to test your completed board is also available.
No need to be sorry for your English, it is perfect (and much better than my Portuguese!).
I don't know if the board can control the trans you mention. Someone may have done the homework to find out, and hopefully they will reply with a definitive answer.
If not, you can check yourself with this guide to get a list of what you will need to know: http://www.msgpio.com/manuals/mshift/newtrans.html If you aren't sure abut anything, post here (ideally listing the answers to the questions you can find information for).
It might help to generate some responses if you listed some of the vehicles this trans came in as well. At very least, it would help others to look up specs on your trans.

That's funny, because we have that exact transmission in one of our test cars (a 1998 VW Passat 1.8T). This car is currently being used for testing other (unreleased and unannounced) projects at the moment, but it is likely it will get MShift at some point. I will attach some of the info I have.
I have done no work at all on this transmission with respect to the MShift/GPIO. I am just gathering documents so that I can do it eventually. I will get to implementing MShift on it, but it will very likely be quite a while before I have time for this (because other projects have a higher priority at the moment).
If you (or anyone else) wants to gather and organize the required information (http://www.msgpio.com/manuals/mshift/newtrans.html) that will likely speed things up, like deciding on the required wiring, parameter setup, and code changes, etc..
