Transdapt Shiftkit... Questions.

[zZsKyZz]

So.. I was reading an article about the shiftkit and it said you'd be able to downshift to any gear at any speed. I got to thinking.. "So I can be in 1st gear and be going 100mph...SAFELY?"

Someone explain please on how these work and such.. I have a shiftkit and all I notice are firmer shifts and it holding a little longer.

This is an interesting question, it would be nice to know before I get my Transgo .

Off topic... but do you have any times for your car?

Nope, not yet.. My friend has times on his 13.9 1/4 car and I can either keep up with him or beat him some days.. so i'm guessing i'm around 13.7's on some nice days..

just Jmod the trans and forget buying the transgo kit....the Jmod is PROVEN and is hands down the first thing you should do with any AODE/4R.

what is Jmod?!

This is the ONE LINK EVERY AODE/4R should read before they biittcch about thier trans. Take it from a guy that knows his way around autos....reeeeed and be merry.

Looks like a good link. I bookmarked it for later reading.
My question is: what can I do to my trans to make it even better and able to withstand whatever more I wish to throw at it?

An AODE should be upgraded to an 4R70W IMHO, the swap is simple and you get the wide ration gear set and a trans that will hold 400 HP from the factory. I say this, cause your electronics will still work with it. It isn't that easy for AOD guys.

If you want to keep the AODE and the even ratio gear set, I would reccomend a jmod and a new mechanical one way clutch and a better converter. Then the trans will hold 400 easy as well. I suggest you take care of the VB first. The AODE vb is the greatest fallback of the trans.
