S5 solenoid turned 3/4 of a turn, free in your next service.

But if I was to buy one from there, adjustable would be the go.

the thing is i don't what it to shift hard all the time i like the idea if being able to turn it off thats the reson for looking into this

[Jack91]

But to answer your qustion, go the single stage simple on/off. These adjustable pots are quite big and finding a suitable mount point isnt very easy.

[POELWYK]

yeah i was thinking glove box so its out of the way and out of sight

[BIGJB]

I have an adjustable one in mine. Mounted it on the side of centre consol.
Out of the way but within reach.

I have a specialist who is interested in this... he will be test and tuning this kit based on the above mentioned "schematic" Vs. Manually adjusting solenoids... he is in belief that the electronic version will be better suited for those with some understanding of adjustable shift pressures. He passes on his deepest thanks for your help with this, as do I.

I also have many others, TCM fords (EA,early EB), EB2-ED, EF and AU and EL all use different ECU/TCM wires. PM me if you would like any of those. Some time in the future Ill update them all and submit them as a tech doco somewhere.

That would be great... once i get the program i want, i can refine your schematics if you'd like the help...

yes..

[xr8ute]

Definitely get the fully adjustable one.

[ten[A]cio[U]s]

Mine should arrive today or tomorrow. Woo! Can't wait =D

(Adjustable)

[au11futura]

I got the adjustible one...

[ten[A]cio[U]s]

Well I got mine and installed it on Friday.

These things are brutal! How can this not be bad for your gearbox / diff!!

Does anyone drive around with it on all the time?

Thats why you should have got the fully adjustable one.

I cant remember the last time I had mine turned up past half-way (even at WSID), and thats more than enough for chirp between gears.

Mine is always on, but very low setting maybe 15-20%. Just enough to make the shift firm but still very smooth.

[blueoval]

in short....NO.

I dont recommend driving with it on ALL the time. Just turn it on when you are giving it a bit at the lights or hills or whatever.

In traffic, I strongly recommend turning it off because the firm shifts get annoying at low speeds.

[ten[A]cio[U]s]

As stated in my bnuild thread, I turned it off real quick.

Just wondering how much damage this will be causing?

[InfernoSR]

You should have your trans fully serviced and checked before installing one of these kits... as there could be issue's that need to be fixed first beforehand...

[au11futura]

as shav mentioned dont run them at low speeds as they are very violent in the shifts from first to second.

i have heard that they can cause second gear to fail but never heard of anyone i know having this problem, if your to paranoid of having one i sugest not to get one.

i like it i have fun with it and a few commie drivers back off when they see the car shifting that quick.

[Lukeyson]

do they chirp 1st to 2nd when your @ WOT?

[ten[A]cio[U]s]

Yes, and when we had about 8 drops of rain, did third as well. Hense my concern about how it can be good for the car.

like i said i have heard roumours about them stuffing second gear but i wonder how the car was driven for it to stuff second obviously not very well.
dont go nuts all day every day and you should be ok.
