Stage 2 Shift Kit - Knox Automatics!

[johnblack33]

Hey all,

Just wanted to give a big shout out to Michael and all the crew at Knox Automatics in Rowville, Vic. Just got my shift kit put in and damn its the best!!! So yeh i highly recommend these guys, they install the keas system and service the transmission for roughly $400 and its a top job. Gear changes are very smooth still considering the perfomance difference, its like bang bang bang instantanious shifts... im in love! Cheers bois!

Good service + good product!

Made my car more drivable and predictable at the expense of jerky gear shifts at low speeds (<15m/h), but offers much more control during normal driving conditions as the transmission isn't taking its own sweet time in changing gears.

After a month with this:

+: Faster shifts.

-: Driving slowly around the carpark with the transmission jumping from first to second and first again feels really jerky, which I solved by putting it into "snow", to keep it at 2nd gear until I reach normal roads.

Recommended!

Sorry to dig up the topic. I'm really new to my R34 so excuse the noob question. When manually changing gears it's quite laggy, it seems to wait until it thinks it's appropriate to shift. Is this pretty normal? Is it waiting for me to take my foot off throttle slightly? Not sure what to expect, never had a tiptronic style trans before.

Hey i know this theard is old but thought no point in starting a new one, just got the stage2 shift kit installed from Knox went for a test drive, man feels good quicker gear change for auto havn't fully test it yet. Can't wait!

I've read really great things about the Stage 2 Shift Kits, definitely plan to get one in the near future after a few other important things (both car and non-car related).

Has anyone had the same upgrade done in Brisbane? Anyone recommend a workshop to carry it out hoepfully around the same price as the above? I'm hoping this will solve the frustrations I have with my laggy auto box

[funkymonkey]

can one put these kits in by themselves with the right tools etc, or is it a delicate matter that needs the skillful hands of a auto trans surgeon?

i have heard of people self installing the MV kits, but for 395 drive in/out at knox, and IIRC the MV kit is 450 for the valvebody alone, and they are change over, just drive in/out IMO

[funkymonkey]

bit hard to drive in drive out of Knox when the car's in Brissy
