I have noticed on my daily driver that has a ZF5HP that when its cold it will shift at a higher Engine speed then during normal engine temp, so its more related to engine and not transtemp.
Dont know if its possible to pull engine temp via CAN to add a warm up feature?

It should be a quite simple thing just interupting the speed signal used for the shift table.
Eg if its minus 10 degrees C and to speed up waming up the engine we could move up the speed shifting point by X% so instead of shifting from 1 -2 at 15kmph @ x Load it will shift at 20kmp @ x Load.

Not an essential function to have so could be placed on the long term "to do" list.

Tobmag,

This is 'doable'. MShift already grabs the engine coolant temp when grabbing the whole outpc structure, aka. 'Get all vars' (and it could be added to the outmsg structure fairly easily for those that want to 'Get only required vars').

I will think some more about this and how to best implement it. It may be we want to add a % to the speed as you say, or we may want to adjust the load to make it artificially a bit higher to move the shift speeds to a higher part of the table (so that the operating values are guaranteed to never be outside the table's bounds), or some other algorithm...

Lance,

Just put it on the list on things to do, I dont put that high prio on this, just a "nice" feature...nothing essential
