My friend has just purchased the above with 80k on .

Shift feels to take it,s time . Should it not be a quick sporty type change in one of these?

does he need a shift kit or simply the bands or what ever need adjusting ..

suggestions please.

Thanks :D

Tell you friend to drive it quite hard and then shift like it's a manual (foot off). I've found that this drastically reduces shifting times and gives a much sharper/harsher snap rather than a smooth transfer.

Failing that get the shift kit from MV.

You should also note that an up-shift will only take place with sufficient RPM or something like that.

Good pionts, will pass on, is it worth adjusting the bands at this stage ??

How much for a kit as MV are in SA we r inWA and they have no web site?

No sounds normal for the GTT box, shift kit will sort this out. MV atuomatics in Adelaide are the people to contact

Yours always would feel spongy as you never drive it hard enough........ :banana:

Cmon Dan, when you comin to the track so we can play "catch me if you can"?????

    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
    • Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
    • I removed the head expecting to find broken and bent valves, but instead found number 1 at TDC and cylinder 2 at the top of its cylinder stroke as well, thought that was weird and proceeded to push cylinder 2 back down until it either bottomed out on its other piston half or the conrod either way we found the issue kind of,  now to remove the engine and see how the block looks, hopefully its just the top off a piston.  
    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
