After having some serious trans perfomance issues, it was found to be travelling in "safe mode" ie 3rd & reverse gear only

so I followed the recommendation of some SA forum members & took my baby to Michael @ MV Perfomance Automatics

...it required a shift solenoid set to fix the non-selecting gear problem & I agreed to a shift "improver kit" (quick shift) as well.

It cost $390 for the Shift Solenoid Set (that Nissans wanted almost $900 for) & $350 for the Shift Improver Kit + the trans fluid & gaskets etc $75.

Now I am a seriously OLD fella but far out, I can not believe the extraordinary difference in it's performance !!

it is frigg'n AWESOME !!!!.... it is a totally different car.

If you have not put a quick shift in your auto yet, do it ! It is the best $400 you will ever spend.

living just 5 minutes down the road from MV, your giving me good reason to do this. Must say with most makes/models I have had with autos - MV has always been the first reference anyone has given - top guys.

Indeed Aaron...he does different "levels" of the shift kit ranging from softer gear changes to "slamming" into gear for high performance & drag cars.

I am OLD & just wanted the "softest" change....now there is immediate, no flarring changes & the box is immediately receptive to the increase & decrease

in revs...it is how it responds rather than the type of response that changes. HOWEVER, when I change over to manual control on the steering

wheel, it feels just like a manual box change...unreal !

It actually feels like I have a bigger turbo kicking it...the immediate gear change response is that good...all for $400

"the OLD fella"

Had one done in an RS a while ago and it blew my mind how it changed the car, better shifting into lock up mode when cruising and better oil flow to the back of the box. I wouldnt bother getting under the car for myself, Id go straight to MV.... as I intend to with the current RS$...lntentional typO

Hey guys

i live in syd but am very keen to get a quick

shift kit 4 my rs.seems like a cheap cost for massive

improvement.is there anyone that has had the kit put

in here in syd? Or know where to source the kit from?

Cheers boys

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
