With the rise of transmissions with electronic controls, they\\u2019ve brought their expertise into this arena. Telling your transmission how to behave has never been easier.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/02\\\/Plug-n-Play-min.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;49176&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Smoothly Integrates with Other MSD Appliances&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;MSD Introduces the Atomic Transmission Controller&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;MSD\\u2019s new Atomic Transmission Controller interfaces seamlessly with their Atomic EFI Controller. Harnesses are available for most electronically-controlled transmissions from GM and Ford from 1993 to the present. This means you can control some older transmissions while driving with a handheld wired remote instead of a laptop.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/02\\\/Harnesses-min.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;49172&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Harnesses&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;MSD Introduces the Atomic Transmission Controller&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;The harness on the left (included) goes to the EFI unit. The harness specific to your transmission is sold separately.\\n\\nThe controller can either be dash-mounted or removed when you\\u2019re done reprogramming the transmission. Leaving it on the dash allows you to monitor your transmission\\u2019s operating parameters in real time.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/02\\\/Initial-Menu-min.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;49173&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;MSD Atomic Transmission Control Module is Easy to Use&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;MSD Introduces the Atomic Transmission Controller&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;This is the menu that opens upon startup.\\n\\nControllers available for newer GM and Ford transmissions can make programming or controlling a transmission pretty easy. However, changing operating parameters in those older transmissions (like an \\u201989 Ford E40D) can often be a matter of hit and miss, especially if you have to make use of software on a laptop.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/02\\\/Initial-Setup-Menu-min.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;49174&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Walkthrough&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;MSD Introduces the Atomic Transmission Controller&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;This is the Initial Setup Menu where you tell the controller what you\\u2019ve got.\\n\\nMSD says that setting up an Atomic Controller is as easy as walking through an initial setup menu that opens when the unit is plugged in. The setup menu walks you through setting up transmission and engine parameters. Once that info is stored by the unit, it will tell you to just go for a drive.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/02\\\/Advanced-Setup-Options-min.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;49171&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Advanced Options&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;MSD Introduces the Atomic Transmission Controller&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;This screen shows some of the control parameters available in the Advanced Setup Menu. \\n\\nAs you\\u2019re driving, you can open an advanced menu that allows you to change shift points, converter lockup and the firmness of the shifts. Hand the controller to a passenger as you make a few passes and you\\u2019ll be dialed in in nothing flat.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}]\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>MSD introduces their Atomic Transmission Controller.
