  • Page 4: Preparation

    PREPARATION Pre-1996 Transmissions: Before installing the Quick 4 unit, make sure that the transmission has a high- impedance (~10 Ohms) torque converter clutch solenoid. A low-impedance solenoid will cause damage to the Quick 4 due to excessive current draw and should never be used.
  • Page 5: Connecting The Essentials

    CONNECTING THE ESSENTIALS (ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION) Step 1: Ground Splice the ground wires (Pins 15 & 16 Black) from the Quick 4 into the main ECU (Engine Control Unit) ground wire. Do NOT connect the ground wires to sheet metal or other ground sources.
  • Page 6 CONNECTING THE ESSENTIALS (CARBURETED AND MECHANICALLY-INJECTED DIESEL) Step 1: Ground Connect the ground wire (Pin 15 Black) from the Quick 4 directly to the battery ground post or negative battery cable. Do NOT connect the ground wire to sheet metal or other ground sources.
  • Page 8 Step 4: Transmission Connectors Connect the Solenoid, PRNDL, and TSS cables to the transmission. If your transmission has two TSS connectors, connect both TSS cables according to their labels. Additionally, connect the Neutral Safety Switch and the Backup Lamp Switch (See page 16). Step 5: Optional Features Connect any extra features you wish to use.

    SETTING UP THE QUICK 4 Step 6: Calibration For a detailed video walkthrough of the setup process, scan the QR code to the right using your smart phone. You can also find the video on USshift.com. Verify that the correct calibration is loaded on the Quick 4. A standard calibration specific to your order is loaded before shipment.
  • Page 10 Step 7: Throttle Position Sensor Calibration Set the Closed Throttle and Full Throttle Positions. This step should be done with the ignition turned to “ON”, but the engine off. The engine should also be warm. Turn the knob to “Tune” (tnE) and click once. “Closed Throttle Position” (CtP) should be displayed.
  • Page 11: Notes On Installation

    NOTES ON INSTALLATION General Installation: The Quick 4 unit should be mounted within the passenger compartment of the vehicle in a protected location. Good mounting areas include under the dash, behind a kick panel, or under the seat, as long as the unit and wiring are not subject to damage.
  • Page 12 Adaptation for Factory-Equipped Transmissions: It is possible to use the Quick 4 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.

    OPTIONAL FEATURES 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 19 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 20 a -2.5V to +2.5V signal instead of 0V to 5V. To make this signal work, install the provided 10µF, 25v, non-polar, electrolytic capacitor inline between the speedometer output of the Quick 4 and the device that it is driving. To install the capacitor, cut the speedometer output wire and solder a capacitor lead to each of the two cut wires.
  • Page 21 The FLEX-SHIFT Settings window. O/D settings are at the bottom. To use an LED bulb for the O/D light (without built-in resistors for 12v), connect the cathode (-) lead to the white wire on pin 2 of the vehicle harness and the anode (+) lead to +12v ignition-switched power.

    MANUAL SHIFT CONNECTIONS Manutronic Overview: If connected and enabled in the software, 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 Momentary 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 a 680 Ohm resistor between them.
  • Page 27 Momentary 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 COM2 of the receiver and connect the Light Blue wire (Pin 6 on the Vehicle Connector) to COM1 of the receiver. You can use either a momentary push-button on / off switch or a latching toggle on / off switch.
  • Page 29: Shiftware

    SHIFTWARE Introduction: Using the Shiftware software allows you to modify the way your Quick 4 Transmission Control System behaves. You can customize shift-points as well as monitor and diagnose the Quick 4 unit in real-time. Setup: To create a calibration for the Quick 4, it is best to start with one of the standard calibrations which are included with the software.
  • Page 30 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 31 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 Select Pairs Together 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.
  • Page 32 Save & Load: Once you have created your calibration, you can save the file to your hard drive or an external storage device. To save, click the Save button on the toolbar. Then, browse to the location where you want it saved and click Save. Use “Save As”...
  • Page 33: Important Information

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION How to Avoid Errors: The Shiftware software gives you complete freedom and flexibility to customize your shifting calibration however you want. This freedom requires diligence to avoid errors. It is very important that the up-shift and down-shift curves for a given gear do not cross.

    TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING! If the transmission does not begin to operate correctly within the first few feet of the road test, STOP immediately, check the troubleshooting guide, and call Baumann Electronic Controls if you need assistance. In some cases, just a few blocks of operation with low fluid pressure can destroy a transmission.
