Automatic Transmission Shift Kit. - Updated Oct 2006


Recommended Posts

Ive been speaking to mike for the last week or so and he has got valve bodies for r34's only prob is he only has a couple from what i understand and i know ones mine so get in quick or you will have to wait for ppl like me to send valve bodies back lol

I believe stock is 1800. To check this out put the car in Drive, put your foot on the break and gently press down on the accelerator.

The revs should quickly rise to about 1800rpm, then slowly up to around 2000rpm before the rears tyres start to spin.

Hope this helps.

Just wondering like many others here, is there gonna be another group buy on these shift kits? Also can u feel the difference once these are installed? Is it ok for a daily driver or is it rough? Thx!

stock torque converter is 1500rpm, which can be taken to 1800rpm with foot on the brake

his ideal upgrade (that he recommended to me, thus what i have) is a 2800rpm converter, and can be taken just over 3000rpm with foot-on-brake launch ;)

The group buy is still running, just phone Mike at MV automatics, tell him you are after the Akylines Australia price on the shift kit / Torque converter or both, and he will send them out.

It is fine for day to day driving, (gentle pedal action) but you will notice a big improvement when you plant your foot quickly

Valve body arrived today with transmission cooler, just trying to figure out which auto workshop to go to, does anyone know any workshops in melbourne around the s.e suburbs which i can go to? and what price am i looking at to get it installed, trying to put in b4 friday because i want to drag it on friday. thanks any help much appreciated.

Put mine in last night

sending back valve body next week

so if you are after shift kit for your R34/stagea (tiptronic) get in quick

It was very easy to put it in

and makes going around corners interesting

so are you happy with it? does it feel better to drive? im putting mine in tomorrow and hopefully go to calder tomorrow night and see what it can do.

well the shifts are more direct now

no more flaring into gear

I bought it more for the life of the tranny

Ill be upgrading turbo ECU and Injectors soon so i thought i better try and fix the transmission side of it before i burn it out

any mechanic can put one in, its nto rocket science, just requiers a hoist and half a brain.. (ok maybe a quarter of a brain...)

getting it put in today for $220 with a service and the transmission cooler put on, and since i don't have a hoist and my car is to low to get on ramps i have no other choice otherwise i would have done it myself. i will let you know how it goes looking foward to getting it back, the auto shifts have always shit me the cars got the power but i agree it flares to much but i have always liked the way the car drives so hopefully if it doesnt flare and i will be really happy.

shifts are alot better no flaring on changes, very happy with it feels alot nicer to drive really have to play with the accelarator now it spins alot on gearchanges overall im pretty impressed.

the installation / removal photos have dissapeared from this thread, does anyone have any photos of this process, which bolts etc ??

Can I pay for an exchange, change it over once I recieve, then send my std one back to MV? Or is that, I will recieve a refund once I return my std valve body to MV?

What a frustrating day, i installed my shift kit, no go, wont engage any gears, but feels like its in drive not matter where the stick is, pulled it out, re-installed it...ahhhh, help me someone, i installed the lightest, thinnest spring on the end one where the black diaphram is, blocked off the middle 2 ports with welsh plugs, what else is there to do ? any photos or advice please.

    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
