Any interest in AW30-43 / AW50-42 torque reduction delete?
I've been recently making the "magic box" that allows to remove the torque reduction "comfort" feature during the shifts of the AW30-40/AW30-43 auto transmission that is in the 960/960II/S90/V90 with 2.5/3.0 petrol engine, and I was wondering that maybe more people from here would like it.
The comfort feature originally decreases the torque of the engine during every shift, and according to my measurements

it may in some cases reduce the power for second or so.
Using this box, the torque of the engine is not decreased at all, the smoothness of the shifts is the same with light throttle, but with throttle wide open, its nice quick shifts without the noticeable power decrease just before the shift occurs.
It can be used both for the older Motronic 1.8 (960 and some early 960II) and newer Motronic 4.4 (later 960II and all S90/V90), but it has to be specified before the order.
The installation is really simple, just cutting three wires, connecting them to the box and powering the box with switched +12V and ground.

I've already installed it in my 960 with Motronic 1.8 and it works flawlessly, now I am awaiting feedback from one Finland guy as he is going to install it in his 960 with Motronic 4.4, to confirm the functionality.
Price would be $20 for the Motronic 4.4 and $25 for the Motronic 1.8, plus shipping (the box is really light so I would expect something around $5).
Will there be some interest at all?
