C34 Auto Trans Quick Shift Kit

[OLDS]

After having some serious trans perfomance issues, it was found to be travelling in "safe mode" ie 3rd & reverse gear only

so I followed the recommendation of some SA forum members & took my baby to Michael @ MV Perfomance Automatics

...it required a shift solenoid set to fix the non-selecting gear problem & I agreed to a shift "improver kit" (quick shift) as well.

It cost $390 for the Shift Solenoid Set (that Nissans wanted almost $900 for) & $350 for the Shift Improver Kit + the trans fluid & gaskets etc $75.

Now I am a seriously OLD fella but far out, I can not believe the extraordinary difference in it's performance !!

it is frigg'n AWESOME !!!!.... it is a totally different car.

If you have not put a quick shift in your auto yet, do it ! It is the best $400 you will ever spend.

living just 5 minutes down the road from MV, your giving me good reason to do this. Must say with most makes/models I have had with autos - MV has always been the first reference anyone has given - top guys.

Yep, should be number one on the list of mods to do to your auto Stagea.

Indeed Aaron...he does different "levels" of the shift kit ranging from softer gear changes to "slamming" into gear for high performance & drag cars.

I am OLD & just wanted the "softest" change....now there is immediate, no flarring changes & the box is immediately receptive to the increase & decrease

in revs...it is how it responds rather than the type of response that changes. HOWEVER, when I change over to manual control on the steering

wheel, it feels just like a manual box change...unreal !

It actually feels like I have a bigger turbo kicking it...the immediate gear change response is that good...all for $400

I have the same shift kit in mine, like you said best thing you could do for an auto stag.

[Springsteen]

Had one done in an RS a while ago and it blew my mind how it changed the car, better shifting into lock up mode when cruising and better oil flow to the back of the box. I wouldnt bother getting under the car for myself, Id go straight to MV.... as I intend to with the current RS$...lntentional typO

shift kit 4 my rs.seems like a cheap cost for massive

improvement.is there anyone that has had the kit put

Old thread, but does the shift kit make the car uncomfortable to drive ie: snapping neck and hard changes even when cruising clunking into gears?

[jet_r31]

nope..smooth as in D , pull it across to manual shifting mode and it thumps hard then...

cheers

S1 auto's tend to shift hard even in D ,as they don't have manual mode

[jet_r31]

cheers

Is there any places in Melbourne that does this??

[scotty nm35]

I can do the installs, but I think MV are the only guys doing swap over valve bodies. You are best speaking to them about pricing and core charges.

[adey88]

Bringing this thread back again...

I have read how great the shift kit is ...now I want one... fingers crossed I'll get a nice tax return!

Can anybody recommend a decent place to get the MV shift kit installed in Sydney?
