Automatic Transmission Shift Kit. - Updated Oct 2006


Recommended Posts

That sounds about right to me.

I now have a fully rebuilt transmission in mine.

how does it drive now?

did u get it rebuilt by MV Automatics?

exactly what is involved with a full rebuild?

and, by any chance did anyone replace their standard trans oil cooler?

if so, im in need to replace my standard trans oil cooler. just PM me thanks!

Drives very nice. Stock like when driven sedately. Harsh when driven hard. It is different though. Say you accelerate in 2nd to redline then let the throttle off but stay in 2nd. You don't get engine braking. The rpm just drops down to about 3k.

New bands, uprated servos, carbon kevlar bits apparently.

MV built it.

MV is in sa, i would assume that the r34 price is same as the group buy price. Mike gave me the group buy price for my z32. For those doing the vb them selves dont do the silly thing i did and leave out the selector ;). Many thanks to abo bob for helping me with this prob over msn ;).

Shift kit is awesome, i have tried out many things with my car running manual ecus, hks auto line controllers and nothing comes close. While they did a good job shifting firmly they did not respond fast enough, ie. i would always bounce off the limiter when manualy selecting from first to second. Now with the stage 2 shift kit it not only shifts even harder but is much more responsive, i can easily shift the gears manually with just a bit of a delay from when i move the gear stick. Like to thank 4door_Sleeper for organising and mv auto.

  • 2 weeks later...

I rang mike on Tuesday and ordered one, and he called back Wednesday to let me know it was shipping out ! Really nice bloke, easy to talk to. Will report back next week once i fit it..

hi guys...

its good to see so much interest in our shift kits...

i hope they are all going well

for you who dont know i work their with mike i have been their for just over 2 years now..

we do these kits all the time and highly recomend them.

i have one in my r33...

from gary

Changes are smooth when light throttle 3-3500 rpm other a bit of a bump but at heavy throttle and highers revs it's back to pretty smooth.

The thing now changes faster than the computer is expecting so the revs drop a bit much sometimes.

the revs drop a bit much??

hmm it sounds like the 34 gearboxes dnt like the shift kit as much asthe 33??

abo bob do you think it is worth getting the kit?? seeing as you blew your box when you put it in i am a bit worried?

has any one else on here put it in a r34 tiptronic or just abo bob

Yeah that probably helped it. lol

so you are happy with the whole package?? i drive a large distance to work and need it to still be smooth when being driven normally.

you said something about it dropping revs too much?? are you using standard ecu?

sorry to ask so many questions but seeing as you have already done it i may as well ask.

yeah I'm in the same boat as mad34, but I am also going to get the high-stall modified while Mike is in the box. Are there any known negative side effects on life of the box or components etc? Later on I am going to get kevlar disks etc put in to fully strengthen the whole box.

Hi Andrew

Quicker shifts prolong the life of the clutch packs as they spend less time grinding away on each other. They also reduce the heat generated which is the big killer of autos. Make sure you also get a trans cooler fitted.

If there is enough interest we may be able to set up a group buy on the modified torque converters. (I am happy to talk to mike about this if there is enough interest - and as I need to do it to my 33 soom anyway.)

the 34 has a trans cooler fitted stock - I assumed all Skylines do!

I am looking to upgrade the cooler to a larger and more efficient one shortly anyhow.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
