I am installing a 6mt pumpkin on my car today.

After this project, im thinking of getting the transgo-shift from gtm for $250.

Anyone wanna chime in on how they like theirs, and if its worth it for a NA car.

Thanks

 

It will make your shifts alot faster and crisper. So........do you want faster shifting or not!

 

hell yea, i want faster shifting. Do you think it will cut down some time in the 1/4th due to the shift lag the AT has

 

do u think i should get the trans cooler with the transgo kit?

 

To extend the life on a auto trans you DEFFINATLY want to add a cooler. How big is the one that comes with the kit? is the cooler thermostatic? If not you would definitely want to add a thermostatic liquid switch so that way the transmission will warm up and stay at the correct operating temperatures.

 

The transgo kit is my favorite mod, it should be a must if you have a AT. And unless you go FI, I don't think you need a tranny cooler; but that is my opinion.

 

I have a 5AT G coupe right now. For FI, what's the advantage of getting the transgo 250.00 kit over a more expensive valve body upgrade?

Can I get away with the transgo kit and a tranny cooler for a 400whp range tune? (Stock block and tranny)

My driving style is moderate/non rough and I drive my coupe like 1-2x a week that's it.

FI (for me) will = a faster coupe for scooting around town and on the highway and the ability to punch it when absolutely necessary

A transgo kit is a valve body upgrade, it's just the parts. By the time you have someone install it you will have spent a grand

 

All I have to say is have a respected shop install it for u. Do not go cheap !

 

Its got to be one of the best mods for an A/t tranny.

 

have a read..

alot of info about the valve body upgrade including pros and cons.

 

where did you go to order the kit? I cant find it anywhere.

 

What's up, Andrew.

4drmadness hasn't logged in in over 4 years, so you might be waiting a bit. I'm amazed that you can't find it anywhere..

I got mine off of EBay.. That's right, EBay. And yeahhh I know some people will disagree about buying a precision part like that off of EBay, but I knew what I was looking for and I've done a lot of business with the seller before. So that was that. As far as installation, It's NOT hard. The 'hardest' part is just trying to ease that fluid soaked valve body outta' the transmission housing and disconnecting those TCM wires on the top before you can actually ease it down completely. The rest was actually pretty fun imo.. but I was told I'm crazy, so, judge for yourself.

Was going from clovis to Albuquerque, about a 3 and a half hour drive. Was driving it kinda hard but was still being kinda easy on it, car starts smoking and i pull over, my dad takes a look and theres oil leaking all over the drivers side underneath the car, he checked the dip stick and he said there was absolutely no oil left in the engine. We think its a head gasket that blew, that wasnt the case, we checked again to make sure it was empty and then we put in 1qt of oil at a time checking for leaks until we hit 5qts. We continued to Albuquerque while stopping every 20-30miles, before we got there we checked it again and it seemed like it lost a lil more oil so we did 1 more qt. Shoulda been 5qts maybe 6 at most. Drop it off at the place that was doing the work and asked them to check it over. Apparently the engine was 3qts over full, it was spewing out the dipstick and the oil filter cap when he checked it. He said right now my engine is completely ****ed but he's not sure how bad. He said it could be some spun bearings or something, the camshafts could be fked, or the entire engine is just useless. The engine cant just be useless. When we stopped we let it cool down and refilled the oil and continued on with zero problems, no knocking, no more smoke, and the engine didnt seize. Hoping someone here has some answers

 

why did you post this here? stick to your original thread and do not post multiple on the same dang thing

 

how reliable is it? I brought my Z to a shop with the Transgo and their nissan technician said he advises against installing it because he's seen it blow peoples transmissions and said i should get the stillen. Any input would be great

 

dont you think you should worry about your motor first? not mention, marques has not logged in for 8 months

 

the shop called and said nothing was wrong. Getting my car tomorrow and going somewhere else who knows what they are doing

 

how reliable is it? Brought my car to a shop to have it installed and their nissan tech advised against it cuz itll blow my transmission.

 

I don't know how to address this other than saying that you need to get the car in the air so you can get under it while it's running and the oil is topped off so you can see exactly where the leak is coming from. Do a compression check too before you throw parts at it. You're crank and rod bearings are probably fine. I'd be worried about your cams, lifters, and valves.
