I then connected one end of this setup to the unused connector on the shift kit switch and the other end I tapped into the other side of the OEM resister wire. So now when the switch opens there is 508 ohms that the computer thinks is the OEM resister. The car still shifts as if there was no resister there.

I am not a electronics person, do you think you could have pictures in your locker of what you did in your locker with perhaps call outs where you place the 8 4.7K ohm and the 1 2.2k OHM ¼ watt resisters looks like? And could I just buy these resistors at a local Radio Shack store? I am planning to buy that shift kit from small car, and would like to do the same as you. Thanks.

Ditto what he said.
