I always try to assume it'll work until proven wrong. So far its worked out pretty well.

I know this is the same as the Transgo but I also would be interested in knowing HOW it works, what ALL it affects both long term and short

all it does is add some resistance to the line pressure sensor. then the computer thinks the line pressure is low due to the added resistance, and ups the pressure some. ive heard between 10-30 psi or so. the added line pressure will cause the clutch packs to grab on to each other during a shift a hair quicker and more firm. the firming grabbing motion creates less slipping in the tranny. less slipping means less friction/heat. and that is a good thing.

the transgo kit comes with the same resistor. im just showing a way to wire it in. it also works well with a sharadon VB, as they use the transgo kit in their VB's

So ***** it then I have a SC but its not holy **** shift faster firmer snap my neck omgz good. I think I will make one of these little bastards drive around for a bit and if its too hard after the trans has adapted then I will try with a lower resistance. That should be cool beans right.

thats exactly why i made the little adapter, in case it didnt work out well i could just take it out. IMO, its such a cheap and easy mod, might as well give it a shot, if it doesnt work for you, take it out.

Yeah besides I can make a few of them if I really wanted or do the potentiometer deal too.
