Torque Management - 45-RFE Transmission
  There is no shift kit for 45-RFE transmission. Heard about this mod in the forums of DakotaUSA.com. What this dose is supposed to firm up WOT shifts like a shift kit. TCM sends a signal to retard the timing when the tranny shifts. With use of the FSM, I found the yellow/green wire in the back passengerside of the engine compartment. Its hidden, going thur C-128 connecter. Its mounted under the brace to the right of the hood spring/hinge.

 Below: Here's the green/yellow wire....

 Below: Brave me went and cut it.

 Below: Put some plugs on the ends and ran 2 wires in up under the dash to hook up to a switch.

 Below: Taped up the wires, tucked the connector back up under the brace.

 Below: The Control switch is just a simple rocker switch from radio shack. Its mounted on the dash. Its the bottom center switch. Looking for a switch to replace the big ugly one.
 Below: Here's a shot of it behind the dash. Its the one with the yellow & black wire. Yea it looks like a rats nest, but its not that bad.

 Below: What under the hood looks like when all is done.

 Went for a test ride and it dose shift firmer then before this mod!

One thing to remember with this mod is....

Make sure to hook the wire back up or leave the switch closed before bring in your dak for drive train services.
