I'm pretty much new to this stuff, I'm really not looking for big power, actually hope to get a little edge in car meets and autocross. So far pretty happy with the setup.

Did you have a Question?

kenp60

Right now, I'm wondering about maintenance cycles, how often to clean the oil feed filter, as one who is running a 5AT is a transmission cooler and valve body upgrade essential? For my driving style I will seldom if ever be near redline, that is not what my build was for. I do have plans for a built motor, but not right now. That is why I'm sticking with the stock pulley, even though I have a 3.12. I have an AEM water methanol injection kit, but not for now, that is for a built motor. Right now my tune is conservative, for street and autocross. I just want to make sure to properly maintain what I have.

Vortech says to clean to oil feel every time you change the oil. but I've changed my oil ever 2500 miles, and did not check the oil feel in till I had the blower out, at about 20,000. And it was Perfect!

Trans with the added load a bigger trans cool is a good Idea. Heat is the Killer of Autos.

I highly recommend a TransGo ATF valve kit and separate ATF cooler if you are FI.

Thanks for your time to reply, your advice is certainly appreciated.

That is what I figured, I've put these on my to do lists and getting quotes from local transmission shops. Manual mode certainly does not feel the same now. Thanks for the reply.
