I just installed my shift kit yesterday, but all of the pressures are maxxed out. can anyone tell me what pressure to use now that i have my kit in.

stock is where it should be

if you get your car tunned the first thing to be done is change the shift points and raise the pressure which is what tech performance shift button did


which kit did you install?

_________________

ZZP shift kit. i didn't change the sizes i did what they recomended. i tuned it down to stock and then raised it 5%. so now it should be at like ~92.6 which i think should be fine?? it still isn't neck breaking shifts, but it did improve the speed of the shift.

i was satisfied with my shift kit....nice firm and smooth. people always ask me...is that normal to shift that hard???

did you get the replacement 1st to 2 gear spring?

i agree and it now burns a little tire into 2nd.



no i didn't replace the spring, no one told me too. but if i have to it only takes twenty minutes to get at the accumulator[/quote]

its something to think about

i've heard the spring will give you a tighter shift from 1st to second

_________________

depending on the shift kit you buy you dont get springs anymore. i put both shims in for 1st and second gear along with the harder springs.

the hardest part and the messiest part is draining the fluid because you dont want to bend your panor get fluid all over the place

that is why you drain it by loosening the passenger side bolts first then working your way to the drivers. not too hard. i put my shift kit in in a little over an hour.

yea i know...its a very time consuming thing to do to drain the fluid...i mean its not hard but compared to the rest of the project its the hardest and messiest part. especialy being once i got mine back together i found another accumulator bolt on the ground so i had to REDO it

you can get your own shift kit w/ spring from teh dealer for 15 bux

all you need is the parts number

i'm sorry but charging double if not triple for the same thing the dealer has is ridiculous

the shift kit

w/ gm part numbers so that the most expensive thing you buy is teh damn tranny fluid

dont all shft kits come with instructions

mine did lol

well if you only get the part numbers than no the won't

_________________

here

drop the pan

remove the filter

remove the 9 accumulator bolts

dont bend the trans lines connected to the accumulator

install shims on center the 2 center shafts

reinstall accumulator

torque to specs

clean trans pan surface and magent

reinstall

torque to specs

i know its lame but theres not much to the install lol

_________________

aaahhh yes 1st to second is definetly alot harder

it is just a 2nd to 3rd spring

but taht alone will snap your neck

_________________

i pulled out the stock springs from some box i had and then some new HD springs that came with a shift kit and i showed my dad how hard the new springs are he was like OMG and transmission can compress those?

should i pull my springs then because they are still the stock springs just with the shift kit in??? where do i get the springs from, and is it all 4 springs??
