  • Page 7 Step 4: Transmission Connectors Connect the transmission connector to the transmission.
  • Page 8 Step 5: Final Connections Engine RPM Signal Input Connect the yellow lead (pin 7) from the vehicle harness to your tachometer signal output. This is required for the learning procedure to work. The engine RPM input can be connected to a digital tachometer output from an engine computer or the tachometer output from an MSD ignition or similar CDI (Capacitive Discharge Ignition) system, but NEVER to the coil outputs of a CDI system like MSD.

  • Page 9: Setting Up The Quick 6

    SETTING UP THE QUICK 6 Step 6: Calibration Verify that the correct calibration is loaded on the Quick 6. A standard calibration specific to your order is loaded before shipment. However, if the transmission configuration has changed since the order was placed, you'll need to connect the Quick 6 to a Windows PC and install the Shiftware Tuning Software, which can be...
  • Page 10 If needed, you can manually adjust TPS values by choosing “Adjust Idle” or “Adjust WOT” in the TPS setup menu. Once the TPS calibration procedure is completed, the values are permanently stored in the controller and will be active for every tune written. TPS values displayed within individual tunes are then irrelevant.
  • Page 11 Step 8: Dynamic Shift Learning Procedure The next step is to carefully drive the vehicle, allowing the controller to learn shift patterns. Before beginning, make sure the conditions of the checklist below are met. o Check for Errors Check the controller display to see if there are any error messages shown.

  • Page 12: Notes On Installation

    NOTES ON INSTALLATION If any error messages or unexpected characters are displayed, refer to the troubleshooting section at the end of this manual for detailed explanations. General Installation The Quick 6 unit should be mounted within the passenger compartment of the vehicle in a protected location.
  • Page 13 Adaptation for Factory-Equipped Transmissions It is possible to use the Quick 6 controller in a vehicle which was originally equipped with one of the intended transmissions. This could be done in conjunction with an engine management system upgrade that no longer supports the transmission.

  • Page 14: Transmission Diagrams

    Fail-Safe Mode Fail-Safe mode is intended to prevent unsafe conditions that could be caused by the failure of a component or the controller, where the transmission could lock up or enter too low of a gear and cause engine damage or loss of vehicle control.

  • Page 18: Optional Features

    OPTIONAL FEATURES TRANSBRAKE (QUICK 6 PRO ONLY) In order to use the Transbrake feature, you will first need to connect a switch to pin 5 (purple) of the vehicle connector. Our Shiftware tuning software provides options for transbrake activation by grounding or supplying 12v when the switch is pressed.
  • Page 19 MULTI-TUNE This feature allows completely different calibrations to be used for the transmission at any time. The table selection switch can be a latching type switch (maintained toggle switch, latching push-button, etc.) or a momentary type switch (spring-loaded push-button switch, spring-loaded toggle switch, etc.) which applies ground to the table select input at Vehicle connector pin 5 when turned on.
  • Page 20 4x4 Low Range Detection Low range detection can be enabled if you want the controller to switch to an alternate calibration table when 4x4 low range is engaged. Configure the options in Shiftware under the “2WD/4WD Options” and “Table Select” tabs in the settings window.
  • Page 21 In some cases, such as driving the input of an engine control ECU, the 0-12 Volt square wave signal will not be able to properly drive the device that it is connected to. This is because some devices are only designed to accept an input signal from a variable reluctance (magnetic coil) sensor.
  • Page 22 In some cases, a "pull-up" resistor to 5V or 12V may be needed to provide the proper input to the controlled device. Please contact US Shift tech support if you have any questions regarding the connection of this signal.

  • Page 24: Manual Shift Connections

    MANUAL SHIFT CONNECTIONS Manutronic Overview If connected and enabled the ManuTronic feature will allow manual selection of all forward gears using paddles, buttons, or another type of switch. With ManuTronic engaged, a brief press of the UPSHIFT button will change to the next higher gear, while DOWNSHIFT will change to the next lower gear.
  • Page 25 Ford Cruise Buttons without Cruise Module For this configuration, you will need to connect the Dark Blue wire (Pin 14 on the Vehicle Connector) to the steering wheel buttons. (Follow the guidelines for soldering found in the “General Installation” section.) The Light Blue wire is not needed for this configuration.
  • Page 26 Shift Buttons with Latching On / Off Switch For this configuration, you will need to connect the Dark Blue wire (Pin 14 on the Vehicle Connector) to your down-shift button (momentary) and connect the Light Blue wire (Pin 6 on the Vehicle Connector) to your up-shift button (momentary). To connect the on / off switch (latching), solder the switch's wire onto the Dark Blue down-shift wire with the included 680 Ohm resistor between them.
  • Page 27 Shift Buttons with Momentary On / Off Switch For this configuration, you will need to connect the Dark Blue wire (Pin 14 on the Vehicle Connector) to your down-shift button (momentary) and connect the Light Blue wire (Pin 6 on the Vehicle Connector) to your up-shift button (momentary). To connect the on / off switch (momentary), solder one side of the switch onto the Dark Blue down-shift wire and the other side to the Light Blue up-shift wire.
  • Page 28 Twist Machine Shrifter For this configuration, you will need to connect the Dark Blue wire (Pin 14 on the Vehicle Connector) to channel 2 of the receiver and connect the Light Blue wire (Pin 6 on the Vehicle Connector) to channel 1 of the receiver. You can use either a momentary push-button on / off switch or a latching toggle on / off switch.
  • Page 29 Lokar Shifter For this configuration, you will need to connect the Dark Blue wire (Pin 14 on the Vehicle Connector) to the blue down-shift wire and connect the Light Blue wire (Pin 6 on the Vehicle Connector) to the blue up-shift wire. To connect the sport mode switch, solder the sport mode switch's red wire onto the Dark Blue down- shift wire with the included 680 Ohm resistor between them.

  • Page 30: Built-In Display

    BUILT-IN DISPLAY The second generation built-in display of the Quick 6 is easier to use and more intuitive. It provides useful information, such as current speed, gear, transmission temperature, and TCC lock status, along with any fault messages. Using the menus, you’ll be able to access many of the same options found in Shiftware.

  • Page 32 MAIN MENU Home Screen = Chooses the home screen as your default view. Info Screen = Shows current sensor values, replacing the home screen as default view. Info includes TPS voltage and percentage, battery voltage, commanded pressure in PSI, and engine RPM.
  • Page 33 SETUP MENU TPS Setup = Clicking this will take you to the TPS Setup menu, which shows the idle and WOT settings as well as the current voltage of the TPS. Clicking once will open the menu. Clicking AutoSet TPS will take you through the steps to calibrate your throttle position sensor settings.
  • Page 34 DIAGNOSTICS Dyno Mode = Enable this mode if you are doing a dyno test. While enabled, you can use the knob to shift gears. Push the knob to access options, such as enabling torque converter clutch (TCC) activation above 1800 RPM, disabling the TCC, and exiting dyno mode.

  • Page 35: Shiftware

    SHIFTWARE Introduction In most cases, the Quick 6’s built-in tuning menu will allow users to make all the modifications they’ll need without connecting to a PC. However, using the Shiftware software allows you to modify the way your Quick 6 Transmission Control System behaves in greater detail.
  • Page 36 Customize The main window is where all of the shift points and line pressure editing is done. The graph displays the up-shift and down-shift speeds in relation to throttle position for each shift. It also displays the line pressure & firmness curve in relation to throttle position.
  • Page 37 If Select Pairs Together is enabled, then the corresponding down-shift point will be automatically selected along with the up-shift point. This can be turned off by clicking the checkbox on the right. You can select multiple points by holding CTRL while clicking the points or a range of points by holding SHIFT and clicking the two points on each end.
