sorry to highjack the thread but...
toplessgt, what headlights and corners do you have? and do you have a bigger picture? i hate the stock lights on the sn95's and need to know what ones look good. i like yours

 

Programmers won't help you shift firmness too much... Buy a decent valve body and convertor and get it all done at once...

 

looks like im gonna have to rebuild the tranny too..what do i need and what will it cost?

 

But isn't part of the purpose of a shift kit to cool down the tranny, due to the shortened time of friction between the clutches??

 

I had my shift points firmed up using a Tuner and that was great...for a while. Then I had a higher stall torque convertor put in (only 2600) and cooler to help the 60' times at the track and it must have changed the line pressure in the AODE as I lost a lot of the firmness I had before. Putting in the Trans-Go Kit in a couple weeks to bring that SNAP back to the shifts. It will also allow the tranny to hold any gear, downshift manually at any RPM and as noted earlier, prolong the life of the AODE.

Installation isn't that bad. I did one in a friends 91 Fox last Summer with the help of her husband and I am just learning to wrench in my garage. You have to drop the trans pan only, not rebuild that transmission as previously mentioned. Pull out the valve body, replace some check ***** and springs, possibly drill a hole or two in the main plate and valve body, and I think that's it. Beyond normal sockets, you should have snap ring pliers and a torque wrench. The one we did got a little messy dropping the pan and I highly suggest having one extra set of hands to make this easier but you could probably manage by yourself.

Oh yeah, HI, I'm new!

 

transgo hd2 shift kit, alto clutches, kolene steel plates, kevlar band, all new seals & gaskets, precision industries stallion 2600-2800 stall t/c.

is what I'm having done now... should get the tranny back this week. What I have done to my drivetrain is..

- All above
- Aluminum Driveshaft
- 3:73 Gears
- Predator Tuned (Shift Firmness, Shift Points, etc)

 

my tranny dont like to shift into 4th gear very well,i was pushing 90 the other day and it was still in 3rd i had to let off the gas to get it to shift,and sometimes it vibrates when it shifts to 3rd and 4th ,btw it an automatic...what would cause that?

 

bad OD band?

 

sounds like an OD band to me

 

Yeah the Diablo made my car SHIFT SOOOOO much harder,
but yeah shift kit/vavle body kit... will REALLY make it shift HARD.

I had the Diablo in my car and was fine with it.
then I put in my COnverter, and now my car shifts like STOCK Again.
so its time for a Vavle Body Kit/Shift Kit.

if you are going with a converter/have one... you need more then just hte DIABLO shift kit.
