Read below the story of Radek Saitz and his '64 XM Ford Falcon Ute. He used the COMPUSHIFT standalone transmission controller to control his Toyota A340E.

Radek is 46 and lives in Darwin, Australia, but was born in the Czech Republic. He has always been into cars - modifying, racing & collecting. He has a soft spot for the rotaries and anything Ford. He has three boys who help out with his project cars. The car is used as much as he can on the weekend and club days with the odd car show here are there.
Radek says the COMPUSHIFT is a "small compact controller that packs a punch. It is nice, solid and compact, easy to fit with pretty detailed instructions to get you started." He appreciates the Bluetooth connectivity of the COMPUSHIFT and says "the ability to see live data and diagnostics via Bluetooth on your phone is awesome. It made setup and calibration so much more painless."
Thanks to Radek for sharing his ride.
