Automatic Transmission Shift Kit. - Updated Oct 2006


Recommended Posts

HAHAHAHA yeah that seems about right. What I did was put a drop sheet on the floor and had about 6 saturday papers spread outso it was nice and thick to absorb anything. Nothing to stop it dripping and running down your arms though.

I ended up using 7.5 - 8 liters of HiTemp.

Adam - I have a full unopened canister left over so if you decide to go with HiTemp you can do me a favour and get it of me. :P Let me know.

I've got about 3/4 of one left over from last time. How many litres are in a container again? I know it's measured in Gallons but I can't remember how many of them either.

Also waiting to decide about Racing ATF. Might mix them. I know you can do this.

At any rate, I may just help you out ned. Will let you know in the next week.

haha yer i got fluid ALL over me and the garage floor :D

i just used 2 skyline jacks on wood with a hydraulic jack on the diff to raise the car prob 50cm off the ground

its not that hard to do if you got a good brain :(

needless to say... i dont have a good brain

Wow. Mine looks quite different to yours but I guess that in terms of unbolting things it's similar. Most of my photos turned out crap. Either too much light or not enough. Very annoying.

This is the only decent one I got and it's of the top of the valvebody so you can't really tell the differences I'm talking about.

It looks like the scene of a murder.

Well I'll never know exactly what the vb will have given me because I am putting in a new turbo at the same time. If I could have I would have done them separately.

Ok the kit is in and it works fine.

Basically the bolts you need to remove to get the thing out are all around the outside. If you look up near the gear shift lever mechanism you'll see that there are about 3 that don't need to be removed.

Also, you'll need to remove the sensors and stuff which I think will take care of the few bolts that are not around the outside that hold it up.

Mike told me there were about 7 bolts holding it up but there are more like about 15-20.

The welsh plugs that you put in go in the middle two holes of the four. I sanded them ever so lightly with 1200 grit sandpaper because I couldn't for the life of me get them in otherwise.

Three springs come out but only one goes back in. It's the lightest (ie easiest to compress).

I needed the jack to compress the spring enough to get the valvebody back in.

Use some longer bolts in the shorter bolt holes to get some bite and get at least 4 or 5 in before you start ratchetting them up because you don't want to strip threads.

I wrote down a little map with the numbers that are on the bolts on it but that didn't take into consideration the fact that there are 3 different lengths of the ones labelled '7'.

It's not a big drama in the end which bolts you use because when you have most of them in you can tell that some are too long so you swap it with others one by one.

Overall it was very time consuming because there are shitloads of bolts and they are many different lengths.

Ok how does it drive?

It is less likely to creep forward if you let off the brake at idle. More likely to roll backwards a little down a hill without brake.

1st to 2nd jumps in quite firmly now. Noticeable but not uncomfortable at low speeds. I am yet to redline it to see if it chirps but been close although I have semi slicks on at the moment. This is the most improved area I think.

2nd to 3rd firmer but still fairly smooth. Not as firm as 1st to 2nd.

3rd to 2nd, very firm.

3rd to 4th, much better at high speed, no firmness but still quicker at street speeds. Changing from 3rd to 4th at about 180km/h it securely and immediately went into gear whereas before it would take almost 2 seconds to slide in.

I dont get chirping, and damn well i shouldnt with full handling and camber kit plus falken semi slicks

from first to second does straife the tail out in a straight line if running higher boost and from standing start

although after having my car tuned i took the exhaust from the frontpipe back off for some testing and gasket replacement and wow was it fast! Flooring it in 2nd going about 60, car just kicks back and powerslides for about 15m

so i currently have the entire exhaust off for a revamp :rofl:

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
