damn, posted before I was finished....in the attached instructions I only did the highlighted yellow sections, not any of the other parts that involve dismantling the trans. Can anyone see anything in the instructions that might cause 3rd gear no longer having engine braking? Tried to contact Transgo directly to ask them but wouldn't you know it, can't find any email address for them, only a US phone number.

so did it on the weekend, time consuming but easy enough. Shifts are snap-fast now, I wouldn't want it any firmer. Only bad thing I've found is there's no longer any engine braking in 3rd gear (overrun clutch?) although 1st and 2nd still have engine braking. A bit weird in that the first time I drove it, on the way home there was engine braking in 3rd gear 'pulsing', like going on/off in maybe 1 sec intervals, when getting down to about 1500rpm, but now none at all. Thought it might be a solenoid playing up but I've run through the auto diagnostics and no error codes being thrown. transgo.pdf

Thanks for your photo.

thanks man, yeah not expecting miracles from it but it was cheap from the US, $92 delivered. Main issue I have with the trans is the slow change from 2-3 which the kit apparently addresses to some degree. I did see the accum springs in the workshop manual and wasn't sure if they were held in or will fall out so thanks, will be aware of those.

yo so bought one of these kits http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nissan-Skyline-Pathfinder-RE4R01A-Automatic-Transmission-Transgo-Shift-Kit-/221468393075?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item33908b7e73 to sharpen up the shifts a little. Car is a s2 r33 with RE4R01A trans. Doing this with the trans on the car still so will only be doing the valve body upgrades, not the sealing rings. Have downloaded the workshop manual for the re4r01a trans and seems pretty straightforward, just wondering if anyone else has done this so far and has any tips on doing this? One concern is the manual details dismantling the trans upside down to when it is in the car, so not clear if springs/balls will fall out everywhere when I put the valve body off while under the car. Thanks

Wow thats weird... There was a dude started exactly the same thread about 4 months back, with the same username as you......waaaaaaait a second...

Lets just say, i would replace every other bush with poly first before doing these.

Done, and no difference noted. My rubber ones were still in very good nick though.

You massive perverts....... But sure, will pm to u

That sounds extremely anticlimatic.

You should keep it stored in the end of the tailpipe.

I see no issue with not wanting to wait 6-8 weeks, its called being a man of action with no time to lose. Act first think later, etc. however now i think about it, why are u ordering from whiteline unless you're keen on paying more for the same product? Theres like 80 suppliers on ebay that sell these swaybars... I mean Anti roll bars...at any given time.

I put forward to you my friend - Superpro for the swaybars. Can be had a bit cheaper, aussie made too.

bit rich coming from someone who frequently posts just to belittle people and their lack of knowledge, and make himself feel all wise and mighty. no one here's actually giving the OP sh&t, just making light of the situation....that's the difference.

Which was it, a shake or a vibration? Maybe he couldn't afford a dildo gearknob so used an actual dildo/vibrator instead, and you hit the 'on' button...? Just sayin, lets not jump to conclusions about this alleged vehicle

yeah it's pretty easy, tools needed - approx. 35cm 3inch stainless pipe - 2x 2bolt 3 inch flanges - welder works a treat and end up with a nice smooth finish, perfect for motorsport.

Yeah man check out more prices, its not THAT cheap, just good price. Mine was genuine.

Gtsboy are you saying that on a new car straight off the production line there would be no movement in the driveshafts, you wouldn't be able to turn by hand even a little. I've only ever owned old cars and they've all had it, i've never had or been under a brand new car to say myself. I'd thought there should always be some 'give' though to allow for expansion/ contraction, slight movement of components in driving etc

I too was told these outrageous lies. But I don't know what else to tell ya, I have an R33 series 2 auto, and this part http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISMO-GEARBOX-TRANSMISSION-MOUNT-NISSAN-SKYLINE-ECR33-ER34-R33-R34-RB25-RB20-RWD-/220905653678?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item336f00c5ae fits, even though it says manual only. I measured every point and couldn't find a difference. Bought from the seller in the link too, $87 delivered and got it in like 5 days from JPN
