4R70W Controller and Wiring Locations

[BlueCoupe 8]

For those of you who have installed a 4R70W already, where did you mount the controller and where/how did you route the wiring from the controller to the transmission? Pictures always help, thanks!

I didnt have ac in my car so I ran the wires up the firewall and in through one of those holes, then into the glovebox. Now another great way that I'm considering doing it is to call baumann and order one of their pin pushers. Remove the plastic heads then run them through a hole you drill by the shifter. From there you can run the wires under the carpet to the glove box or if you have a console run it in there. My car is torn down and at paint so no pictures for ya now. Look over on the VMF forum and theres a good write up of a guy who did it the way I described

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking of putting the controller in the glovebox and drilling a hole by the shifter like you mentioned for the wires. Has anyone done it this way already?

Go through this posts. Good info even though it's not in a 69

That is a great post on how he did. Thanks again!

If anyone has done it this way, I still wouldn't mind seeing some pictures on a 69 or 70 if you have some.

Any one else have recommendations or pictures? I appreciate the help

I ran mine through the passenger floor next to the tunnel and will mount it in the center console.

Thanks for replying and the pictures

I ran mine in through the tunnel and mounted it in my console. Ive been asking them to make a remote mounted display so we can see what its doing so the module can be buried.

Damn Newstang looks like you have a bit more room in your transmission tunnel than I do in mine.

I ran my wires up the tunnel and into the engine bay, then through the fire wall and then cut a hole in the glove box liner to run wires through and simply set my controller in the glove box...It sits in there upside down but I can still read it.

Just to follow up on my own thread, I ended up going through the heater hose holes for my wiring. This worked since I have an A/C car and those heater hose holes were not used. I also mounted my controller in the glove box. I removed the liner so I can't store anything in there anymore though. I finished the install in early spring and highly recommend the 4R70W. It's a blast to drive now.

Just curious, what size engine you have and rear gear. Tia

[BlueCoupe 8]

It's a 302 with 3.55 rear gears. With 27" rear tires, it's at 2000 rpm at 65 mph.
