Wiring Gearvendors to PCM and A4

We currently instaling gearvendors unit in my 97 OBDII A4 Camaro.

Used the jegs short torque arm and everything fits good but now we have some questions regarding the wiring.

Gearvendors 4L60E wiring diagram is for a 96 gas truck.

They're looking into it for us regarding the passenger car wiring but I was wondering if anyone has had some experience putting a gearvendors unit in their fbody.

We need to know which wires on the pcm the GV speed buffer splices into.The buffer has green/speedo wire, blue/criuse control and white/abs wires. Also is the power wire switched or constant.

From the under dash control unit there's a violet and green wire that splice into the transmission harness.

We're unsure where these wires go as the connector illustration is different.

Maybe Madwolf might know something about this.

Any help or general responses about the gearvendors unit would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help

I'll be installing the GV in my 96 Impala next week, pretty much same setup.

I'm experimenting with a full auto controller for OD between shifts on this.

We'll see how well my ideas work.

One more thing, look at the instructions and give me:

GV wire color - GM wire color and function

for each of the wires you need to hook up.
I don't have the instructions here at work with me so I can't look at mine.

The instructions for the wires from the speed buffer say White/ABS wire to PCM Blue connector pin 15.

Blue/Cruise control wire to PCM Black connector pin 3, but the wire there is pink and white.

Green/Speedo wire to PCM Black connector pin 4, but that pin is blank.

Black is ground.

Red is power but it doesn't say if it's switched or constant.

On the under dash control unit the white wire goes to the gearvendors unit.Ok thats no problem.

The green wire piggybacks onto a blue wire at the transmission harness.(position R)

A violet wire with a black and red double end splices into another blue wire.(position T)

The notes say position R and T are both blue wires, remove back cover of the connector and visually locate R and T however the diagram for the pins at the connector is different from the connector on the transmission.

So we need to know what the R and T wires are to connect the control box to the transmission harness, and which wires to connect the speed buffer to the computer and if the buffer power wire is switched or constant.

Thanks for the help.
