Looks about like mine

love the barking tires through all the gears





as for the power the stock tranny can handle .. im not sure, but ive seen 450hp somewhere WITH the shift kit .. im assuming thats with an aftermarket / bigger cooler .. but dont quote me on this

 

How is the 3 to 4 shift for you guys with the transgo kits and boost? Does it slip for a split second then engage or is it solid hard shifting like the lower gears? If you leave the trans in DRIVE will it hit the rev limiter or does it shift fast enough?

I ask becuause I am considering the Transgo kit to replace my VB which was modified by SGP before the trans go kits were out. I works great in manual mode 1-2, 2-3, but I slight slip in 3-4 which cost me several tenths. And in DRIVE I hit the rev limiter in every gear and it wont shift.

Look at this video and pay attention to my 3-4 shift.

I'm really interested in getting this kit. Currently, I'm hearing grinding noises 1-2 with wot. It's driving me nuts. Does the TG kit fix this problem? I have no knowledge in Trans...... TT

 

transgo instructions state that your tranny must be in good working condition before attempting this upgrade. it may make problems worse if you install it.

 

Hey, how did you solved the 4-5 sluggish shift from 4-5? I am experiencing the same issue.

 

i think the 4-5 shift was designed to be similar to stock - not used in racing like the rest of the shifts.

 

Yes shifts 4-5 remain untouched with the Transgo kit.

 

Rather interested in this.

How well does the transgo vb upgrade work with a reflash?

Thinking of possibly doing Transgo / Shift Paddles upgrade after full bolt-ons...

Does anyone here currently have this upgrade with a flash?

 

i've heard that with the Transgo + Osiris torque management you have even more crisp shifts all around. Someone on g35driver was talking about it since they had both.

Paddle shifters would be nice!

 

anyone in northeast area know a shop or know how to install my transgo kit im from MA

 

Superb writeup OP!

I just received mine a week ago but havent installed it yet.

Guys any idea what's the purpose of drilling those holes?

 

I'm not a transmission expert .. but I'm assuming its to allow the flow of more fluid through the valve body



just hit 53k miles and still shifting just as hard as it did when I installed the kit .. think I'm a lil over due for a tranny fluid change, so thats next on the to-do list

bought a bike a few months ago .. so the Z has been resting a lil .. haha

 

is the kit just a set of bolts and springs?

 

Between this and 3.5 gear, it sounds like it would make the car so much more fun to drive

 

How does this handle under normal, non power driving? Does the trans still shift smooth and calm or do the tires chirp when you're just going to get groceries in town? at 35MPH

 

under light load you hardly notice its there.

 

Under light loud mine seems like it doesn't want to shift and seems to slip a bit. It's to the point where I don't use it now. I had it installed while getting a turbo kit installed. I also have a heavy duty tranny cooler.

 

thats probably because they upped the line pressure when tuning so it would hold the power of your turbo.. thats what happened to me. but I remember when I was NA it was pretty chill under light load.

 

Adrian do you have those pdf sheets?
