Are you letting the AEM control the automatic shift points?

I'm wanting to put my 1.5jz into my 97sc300, but the automatic part of it scares me. I want to buy the aem v2 and use it, but I just haven't got up the courage to start pulling the motor and other things yet.

Thanks, that makes sense. Unfortuantely I've already bought a built auto tranny from a 1jzgte. It too has the kick down cable. That's going to suck since I paid a pretty penny for it. Thanks for the info though.

Sorry for the thread jack.
