V Upgrade Week!

Transgo shift kit fitted today, traction controll WILL be ON in the wet

[Ross]

Who did you get to install and cost?

[GED59]

Bailey Automatics in Myaree $770 all up, which included new oil filter, gaskets and service. Took 4 hrs, he probably wont quote you a total price up front as he does it on an hourly basis. it sounds expensive, but already its worth it.

yeah man love my transgo..... especially in the wet

[GED59]

hey James do you some times get aggresive gear changes down low when driving "normally"

[jbenj]

Sometimes shifting down from 3rd to 2nd is kinda rough dunno but I think couple of times I can hear the abs kicking in? Other than that it is quite smooth. How you find yours?

[jbenj]

Rough I mean is like that thumping noise

Does the shift kit work with the CVTs? Don't completely understand how these things work...

NO!!!!!

The CVT is a completely different gear box. You cant put a 'shift kit' on something that doesnt change gears, i.e. there is nothing to 'shift'.

Try google-ing the CVT gearbox, there are sites out there that have pretty good explinations on how they work.

Understand how the CVT boxes work... Wasn't sure about the shift kit. Couldn't find much detailed info although didn't put a lot of effort into googling.

^^ I don't mean to be mean here, but you fundamentally don't understand how a CVT box works if you are asking this question - they do not have a valve body to upgrade!

Are you replying to me?

[Nightcrawler]

Nah Tony350 - hence the little up arrows I put in there

[t5iv]

Well aware that the CVT doesn't have a vale body to upgrade... wasn't sure whether that's what the trnasgo thingy did or not...

[pv35gt8]

Then google what the Transgo thingy is then.

[t5iv]

I failed miserably....

Getting use to the shift kit, the only negative i have is when i put into D it slams in. At first i thought it might be because the tranny is cold, after a couple of hours driving i put it in P then back to D but it still slams in. Any views?

[scotty nm35]

Swap gearboxes and return to stock line pressures? It was never going to be nice and smooth like factory, mine clunks into 2nd sometimes but who cares, it is handling 350kw.

[slippylotion]

Mine doesn't do that when shifting into D. The only thing I hate is that when in D the kick down is still a little slow and when it shifts down it clunks into the lower gear. Shift from 1-2 is still a little soft but I think that's the M35 ECU at work. Otherwise good results.
