                                   PREPARATION
Pre-1995 Transmissions:
     The Quick 1 does not support the early ATR (MLPS or Range Sensor)
     connector used from 1989 to 1994. It was found to not be adequately
     waterproof. Ford services the old sensor by providing the new one with the
     updated connector shell and instructions for replacing it. If you don’t already
     have the 1995 and up range senor, you will need to purchase it. US Shift sells
     the updated range sensor as well as Ford.

                          CONNECTING THE ESSENTIALS
                             (ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION)
Step 1: Ground
Splice the ground wires (Pins 15 & 16
Black) from the Quick 1 into the main ECU
(Engine Control Unit) ground wire. Do NOT
connect the ground wires to sheet metal or
other ground sources. The Quick 1 MUST
be connected to the Main ECU ground, as
close to the ECU as possible.
                                               Step 2: Power
                                               Splice the power wire (Pin 9 Red with 7.5 Amp
                                               fuse) from the Quick 1 into the main ECU
                                               (Engine Control Unit) ignition-switched power
                                               wire.
                                                                                          5
                         CONNECTING THE ESSENTIALS
               (CARBURETED AND MECHANICALLY-INJECTED DIESEL)
Step 1: Ground
Connect the ground wire (Pin 15 Black) from the
Quick 1 directly to the battery ground post or
negative battery cable. Do NOT connect the
ground wire to sheet metal or other ground
sources. The Quick 1 MUST be connected
directly to the battery ground post or negative
battery cable.
                                             Step 2: Power
                                             Connect the power wire (Pin 9 Red with 7.5
                                             Amp fuse) from the Quick 1 to ignition-
                                             switched power wire. Do NOT use accessory-
                                             switched power.

Step 4: Transmission Connectors
      Connect the Solenoid, PRNDL, and TSS cables to the transmission.
      Additionally, connect the Neutral Safety Switch and the Backup Lamp Switch
      (See page 16). An output shaft speed sensor, a VSS, or an electronic speedo
      can be used for speed input.

                              SETTING UP THE QUICK 1
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 1. 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 1 to a Windows PC and install the Shiftware Tuning Software. (See
      the “Shiftware” section for installation instructions.) Using the software, load the
      calibration that matches your transmission's configuration.
                                                                                             9
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. Leave the accelerator untouched. Click the knob once,
      then double-click to set the current Closed Throttle Position. Click again to exit.
      Turn the knob to “Full Throttle Position” (FtP). Hold the accelerator all the way
      down. Click the knob once, then double-click to set the current Full Throttle
      Position. Click again to exit.
      Turn the knob to “Save and Exit” (SAE). Click once to save and exit.

                              NOTES ON INSTALLATION
General Installation:
      The Quick 1 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. Under-hood mounting is NOT possible with the Quick 1 unit.
      It is not waterproof or rated for under-hood temperatures. Passenger
      compartment mounting is also necessary to provide easy access to the USB
      port, which is used to interface with a PC for programming and diagnostics, as
      well as the display and function control knob. For this reason, be sure to mount
      the unit in a way that gives easy access to the USB port. If you will be using a
      desktop PC for programming, install the unit so that it can be unplugged and
      moved easily.
      All electrical connections should be made using 60/40 rosin core solder. Cover
      the connection with heat-shrinkable tubing for improved insulation and
      mechanical strength. Individual connector terminals can be connected using a
      “piggy-back” method, where the terminal is removed from the plastic connector
      housing to allow the new wire to be soldered on to the terminal atop the original
      wire. Two wires may be connected together by twisting them together
      longitudinally, soldering, then covering with the appropriate size heat-shrink
      tubing.
      Start the engine and move the shifter through all positions, ensuring that the
      gear position and all sensor readings shown on the controller are correct. Most
      importantly, make sure that no error codes are shown on the Quick 1 display. It
      is a good idea to periodically check the Quick 1 display for errors as you drive,
      so it is wise to consider an accessible mounting location. If any error codes or
      unexpected characters are displayed, please refer to the user interface manual
      for detailed explanations. If possible, perform a line pressure check to ensure
      that line pressure is correct at idle (typically 60 - 80PSI), and that it smoothly
      increases toward maximum (typically 190-240PSI) as the throttle position
      increases. If you have any questions about the installation or line pressure
      readings, please contact our technical support department.
                                                                                              11
Adaptation for Factory-Equipped Transmissions:
     It is possible to use the Quick 1 TCS 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. Use of the TCS for this purpose allows flexibility in choosing the
     engine management system, in addition to the increased control, performance,
     and transmission durability afforded by Quick 1. If you retain the stock
     PCM/VCM, it can probably be modified or re-flashed to disable the transmission
     functionality.

                                 OPTIONAL FEATURES
Table Select:
      The table selection switch should be an On-Off type switch (such as a toggle or
      latching push-button switch) which applies ground to the table select input at
      Vehicle connector pin 5 when turned on. When the switch is turned on, the TCS
      will use the secondary calibration tables, allowing a completely different
      calibration to be selected for the transmission at any time. The Table Selection
      input may also be connected to a nitrous oxide system to provide an alternate
      calibration for use when the nitrous system is engaged. Other uses for this
      input include a “Sport/Economy” switch or a “Normal/Aggressive” switch. The
      usefulness of this input is limited only by your imagination.
Speedometer Output:
      We have provided an adjustable speed signal output that can be used to drive
      an electronic speedometer, if desired. Use of this output signal is not necessary,
      but it can be helpful if your speedometer can not be driven correctly from
      another source. This signal can also be corrected for different gear ratios and
      tire heights, so it can be very useful in some applications. The speedometer
      output signal is normally provided as a 5 Volt square wave, but it can also be
      configured to provide a 12 Volt square wave when required (please refer to the
      "jumper settings" document for more information).
      There are two speedometer output modes that can be selected via the tuning
      software or the built-in tuning interface. It can also be disabled if not used. In the
      replicated speed sensor output mode, the speedometer output provides an
      amplified and squared version of the original speed sensor signal. Replicated
      mode is useful for applications that require a signal with the exact pulse rate of
      the speed sensor being used. There is also an adjustable corrected mode,
      which is very useful for correcting speedometer errors, or providing unusual
      speedometer output signal frequencies.
18
      In some cases, such as driving the input of an engine control ECU, the 0-5 Volt
      (or 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.
      Because of this, they may expect the input signal to swing below ground (0
      Volts). To drive this type of input, use the included capacitor to "offset" the DC
      value of the speedometer signal to 0 Volts. As a result, the driven device will see
      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 1 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.
      The Overdrive switch can be used to turn overdrive on or off. The switch can be
      a latching switch (toggle switch, latching push-button, etc.) or a momentary type
      switch (spring-loaded push-button switch, spring-loaded toggle switch, etc.)
      connected to +12v ignition-switched power and pin 4 (brown) of the vehicle
      harness. (The tan wire on pin 12 is for VSS output and shouldn’t be confused
      with the brown wire on pin 4 for the O/D switch.) Optionally, you can add an O/D
      indicator lamp between +12v ignition-switched power and pin 2 (white) of the
      vehicle harness. This lamp will normally light up when overdrive is off. This
      setting can be configured under the “Driver Control Switch Settings” tab of the
      tuning software.
      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. Put a resistor in series on either
      side. We recommend using a 1.2k Ohm resistor, but you can use one with a
      lower resistance to make the LED brighter or one with a higher resistance to
      make it dimmer. It’s best to stay above 1k Ohm to protect the LED. A 1/4w
      resistor or higher is recommended.
                                                                                            19

                         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, push-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. ManuTronic also has a safety feature which inhibits downshifting if
     the engine RPM is too high, which prevents over-revving of the engine due to a
     driver's error.
     There are several different ways to configure the Manutronic to meet your
     specific needs. Depending on your Manutronic configuration, you may need to
     install or uninstall the Manutronic jumper (JW2-5). You can find the jumper
     settings manual on the Quick 1 software disc in PDF format.
     This jumper supplies 5V to the Manutronic 1 input and should be installed for all
     Manutronic configurations (except for a Ford cruise control system). See the
     sections below for further explanation.
                                                                                         21
Ford Cruise Buttons:
     For this configuration, you will need to solder the Dark Blue wire (Pin 14 on the
     Vehicle Connector) to the Blue / Black striped wire that connects the steering
     wheel buttons to the cruise module. (Follow the guidelines for soldering found in
     the “General Installation” section.) The Light Blue wire is not needed for this
     configuration. The Manutronic jumper should not be installed in the Quick 1
     controller. Be sure to use the correct settings in the Shiftware setup. To enable
     the Manutronic, double-click the CRUISE OFF button. Press ON or OFF once to
     disable it.
22
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. Remember that the Manutronic jumper must be
     installed in the Quick 1 controller and the correct settings used in the Shiftware
     setup. To enable the Manutronic, double-click the CRUISE OFF button. Press
     ON or OFF once to disable it.
                                                                                          23
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. (Follow the
      guidelines for soldering found in the “General Installation” section.) Remember
      that the Manutronic jumper must be installed in the Quick 1 controller and the
      correct settings used in the Shiftware setup. Manutronic will be enabled when
      the toggle switch is turned on and disabled when it is turned off.
24
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.
      (Follow the guidelines for soldering found in the “General Installation” section.)
      Remember that the Manutronic jumper must be installed in the Quick 1
      controller and the correct settings used in the Shiftware setup. To enable the
      Manutronic, press the On/Off button once and do the same to disable it.
                                                                                           25
Twist Machine ShrifterTM:
      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. (Refer
      to the previous two sections on how to install and use the on / off switch.)
      Remember that the Manutronic jumper must be installed in the Quick 1
      controller and the correct settings used in the Shiftware setup.

                                        SHIFTWARE
Introduction:
      Using the Shiftware software allows you to modify the way your Quick 1
      Transmission Control System behaves. You can customize shift-points as well
      as monitor and diagnose the Quick 1 unit in real-time.
Setup:
      To create a calibration for the Quick 1, it is best to start with one of the standard
      calibrations which are included with the software. To load a standard
       configuration for your transmission, click the Open      button on the toolbar,
       then browse to the folder where the transmission calibration files are located.
       (Default location is C:\BTS\) The files are named according to the transmission
       and RPM range and have the .btc file extension. Choose the calibration file and
       click Open.
       Once the calibration file is loaded, click the System Settings      button on the
       toolbar to check the settings and make sure that they are correct for your
       transmission. The System Settings window has several tabs within it. Click each
       one to see each section of settings specific for your transmission.
                                                                                              27
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 curve (otherwise
     known as the EPC current) in relation to throttle position. The lower the line
     pressure curve is on the graph, the higher line pressure will be. You can use the
     checkboxes on the right to turn on the curves for individual shift firmness and
     adjust them independently.
       The graph has ten points from left to right, 0 being idle and 9 being Wide-Open-
       Throttle (WOT). On the left side of the graph is speed in miles per hour. Click on
       a point in the graph to select it. (If Automatic Down-shift 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 Downshift Select
       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. You can move between adjacent points using the LEFT and
       RIGHT arrow keys.
       Once a point (or points) is selected, you can drag it with the mouse to raise and
       lower its value. A yellow box will appear in the graph telling you what the value
       of the point is.
28
Tables:
      You can create more than one calibration, and use the Table           buttons on
      the toolbar to select whether the current calibration file will be read from or
      written to table 1 or 2. The two table spaces in the controller are separate and
      independent, and each can hold a separate calibration file. An optional Table
      Select Switch can be added to the Quick 1 system to switch between them.
      (See “Optional Features”)
                                                                                             29
                          IMPORTANT INFORMATION
      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. The up-shift point at any throttle position should usually be at least
      15% greater than the down-shift point. For instance, if the 2-3 up-shift point at
      ½-throttle is 45MPH, then the 3-2 down-shift point should usually be less than
      40MPH.
      Pay close attention to the interaction between different shifts. Overlapping the 1-
      2 and 2-3 shifts can cause skipped gears and other drivability problems.
      Also note that torque converter slip at low speeds renders engine RPM values
      meaningless. It is usually desirable to have light-throttle shift points within a low
      RPM range. In this case, it is best to base light-throttle shift points on vehicle
      speed, rather than engine RPM (as most auto manufacturers do).

                                   TROUBLESHOOTING
    Error Codes:
    The following error codes will be shown on the controller's display when faults
    are detected. For more detailed error messages, you can also view the
    Controller Fault Display in the tuning software. The software is not limited to
    currently set faults, but can show fault history as well. History is cleared when
    the controller powers down completely (ignition turned off and USB cable
    removed from computer.)
