COMPUSHIFT PRO
INSTALLATION GUIDE
Congratulations on your purchase of COMPUSHIFT – HGM Automotive Electronics’ next-
generation precision shift controller.
The sturdy COMPUSHIFT housing is water resistant to 3’ / 1m. Though we prefer you mount inside the
vehicle, the controller can be mounted in the engine compartment or even under the vehicle, provided
it is away from heat sources. Plug-and-play connections and versatile factory tuning make installation a
breeze.
This guide takes you through the basic steps for installing your transmission controller.
For more details, including How-To videos, specifications, pinout information and more, go online:

We’re Here to Help
If you purchased directly from HGM, your COMPUSHIFT is calibrated to your unique vehicle specs, but
be sure to ask for help if you need it. Throughout installation, we’ll work with you over the phone – we
can even take remote control of your system – to help you fine-tune to perfection. As you get to know
your system, we’ll make sure you know how to make changes on your own, so you can manage your
own adjustments like a pro.

Before You Begin
1. Check the Packing Slip
Your COMPUSHIFT transmission controller should have been configured for your specific application.
Check the packing slip to confirm you’ve received the correct components for your vehicle.
Specifically, check the following:
• Transmission Type
• Engine type
• Throttle position sensor type
2. Inspect Your Transmission
Before beginning the installation, make sure your transmission is in good mechanical condition; a
malfunctioning transmission may damage the unit and void your warranty. If you’re in doubt, see a
qualified transmission repair shop for a full inspection.
3. Assemble Your Tools
Here’s all you’ll need for most installations.
• No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
• 1/8” or 3/16” flat blade screwdrivers
• Drill and small drill bit assortment
• Socket / open-end wrench assortment
• Wire cutters / wire stripping pliers
• Wire crimping pliers
• Wire insulating tape
4. Download the App
You will calibrate and tune your COMPUSHIFT transmission controller from the convenience of your
smartphone. To begin, download the free app:
iPhone, iPad: Visit the App Store and search for COMPUSHIFT Setup.
Android: Visit Google Play and search for COMPUSHIFT Setup.
5. Register Your COMPUSHIFT Transmission Controller
To register, start the COMPUSHIFT Setup app and tap the menu in the top left corner. Select the option

Install the Controller
1. Mount the Controller
The sturdy COMPUSHIFT housing is water resistant to 3’/1m, so you can mount the controller inside the
cabin, in the engine compartment or even under the vehicle – but AWAY from exhaust system and other
sources of heat.
We recommend mounting the inside the cabin – on a kick panel, under a seat, or on the floor pan – and
cutting a hole in the firewall for the cables.
Select a spot away from direct heat. Keep in mind:
You may want to be able to see the status lights on the controller.
Your controller and smartphone connect via Bluetooth, so avoid mounting the unit inside a
metal enclosure.
Use the built-in flanges to secure the controller in place with screws or use hook-and-loop type fasteners
to attach it to a flat surface.
There’s a small pinhole in the center of the rear cover that allows a little air flow to equalize pressure
inside the case when you go from sea level to higher elevations. Water cannot pass through the Gore-
Tex® liner. This hole should not be covered.
The controller is a sealed assembly.
Opening the case will void the warranty.
2. Attach the Main Cable Assembly
The main harness assembly includes all the cables needed for most applications – as well as some you
may not use. For those cables not in use, leave them in place and secure the stripped end with insulating
tape.
With the cable tail DOWN, carefully align the connector to the 80-pin assembly on the
controller.
Press in place, then pull the lever down until it snaps in place.
Push the red tab down to lock.

To remove the connector, pull the red tab up, then press down on the release panel.
Pull the lever up to the unlocked position.
Gently remove the connector from the 80-pin assembly.

Connect the Transmission
1. Connect the Main Transmission Plug
For easy identification, all connectors are labeled.
Safely route the harness AWAY FROM the exhaust system, the rotating drive shaft, or other
moving parts of the drivetrain.
Connect the main transmission plug to the corresponding plug on the transmission.
2. Connect the Transmission Output Speed Sensor (TOSS)
Choose the correct TOSS adapter for your transmission and connect it to your vehicle’s sensor.
3. Connect the Transmission Input Speed Sensor (TISS)
If your transmission has a TISS, connect the mating plug on the harness. Note that some GM
harnesses fit multiple transmissions, so your loom may have a TISS plug even though your
transmission does not have a TISS sensor. In this case, tie the unconnected plug safely out of the
way with a cable tie; do not connect it.
3. Connect the Lever Position Sensor
Some transmissions, including Ford and Nissan, require an additional lever sensor connector.
Connect this sensor to the supplied plug on the harness.
4. Connect the Reproduced TOSS Signal
Use the purple/white wire labeled “SPEEDO OUT” to connect to your vehicle’s speedometer or
engine ECM.
DO NOT connect to your original TOSS wires.
On GM vehicles, you can patch this connection to the cable that originally connected to the TOSS.
GM does not make a plug and cable to fit, so you must patch the wire directly.
4WD Only: Connect the Transfer Case Low Range Calculation Wire
On four-wheel-drive vehicles, connect the transfer case low range switch to the yellow
Transmission Wiring Harness wire labeled “TRANSFER CASE.” During setup, you will enter the
transfer case ratio into the COMPUSHIFT app so it will operate correctly in the LOW Range.

Connect the TPS
Vehicles with Edelbrock AFB, Holley and Rochester Quadrajet carburetors without
existing TPS
Install AccuLink TPS
If you are installing AccuLink TPS, go to our website for a step-by-step video. You’ll also find a
printed installation guide with your AccuLink TPS kit.
Vehicles with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) or existing TPS
Connect the Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) Harness
Most engines with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) don’t require a separate TPS. In this case,
connect the OEM wiring harness using the HGM TPS adapter.
GM TPS Only: Use the Y adapter if your fuel-injected engine uses the standard General Motors TPS
socket.
Other Systems: Use the bare pigtail adapter harness with any other type of socket.
Other Non-EFI Engines
Install Cable-operated TPS
Install cable-operated TPS on vehicles without EFI that are not compatible with AccuLink TPS.

Connect the Engine and Power
Before connecting the power, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY.
Follow the wiring diagram to make the connections. For those cables not in use, leave them in place and
secure the stripped end with wiring tape.
1. Connect the Throttle Position Sensor
From the harness assembly, attach the cable marked “TPS” to your vehicle’s AccuLink TPS, EFI TPS
adapter, or Cable TPS system.
Optional: CAN Bus Connector
Certain versions of the HGM software can obtain throttle position, engine speed, manifold
pressure, manifold temperature and other information directly from the ECU through the CAN
bus. If applicable, connect the plug marked CAN to your vehicle’s ECM.
2. Connect the Power, Meter, and Optional Switch Leads
From the harness assembly:
Connect the purple/white wire marked “SPEEDO OUT” to the speedometer.
Connect the black wire marked “GRND” to a good ground.
Connect the brown wire marked “TACH IN” to either the tachometer output of an electronic
ignition system (for example, an HEI), or the tachometer output of an MSD ignition system.
Connect the red wire marked “+ 12 SWITCHED” to a circuit that’s powered when your ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position – NOT accessory “ACC” position (min. 6 amps of current).
Optional: Connect a Mode Switch and Mode LED.
Most harnesses are equipped with wires for a mode switch and mode. These allow you to change
between two preset calibrations, A and B, on the controller by pressing a pushbutton. The
pushbutton should be a momentary switch to ground. See the section below on “Using Optional
Features.”
Optional: Connect an Overdrive Cancel Switch and LED
Depending on the transmission type, some harnesses are equipped with wires for an overdrive
cancel switch and overdrive cancel LED. An LED connected from the OD CANCEL LED wire to ground
will light when the overdrive function is cancelled. The overdrive cancel switch is usually wired as a
momentary switch to ground but can be configured as a toggle switch instead. See the section
below on “Using Optional Features.”
Optional: Connect a Manual TCC Switch and TCC LED

There is an optional connection for a pushbutton switch to manually engage the torque converter
clutch, and an LED to indicate that the TCC is on. This wire may or may not be present in your
harness, depending on the type. The switch and its LED can be added later as an accessory. See the
section below on “Using Optional Features.”
Regarding the Optional Pushbutton Switches
HGM sells three optional stainless-steel accessory switches to complement your application: A/B
Mode, Manual TCC, and Overdrive Cancel.
To Install:
Locate a position that is easy to reach from the driver’s seat.
Drill a 19mm or 3/4” hole for the switch.
Install the switch from the front with the O-ring in place.
Install the nut on the rear of the switch. Tighten gently.
Optional: Connect the Switch-Shift Harness
For vehicles with paddle shifters or pushbutton shifters, an optional Switch-Shift Harness connects
to the main connector. HGM also sells the Twist Machine paddle shifter, shown below.
