Just recently bought a Transgo Valve body upgrade and I have a few questions I wanted to ask.

Firstly; does anyone know of a mechanic/transmission shop which can install the kit? Would prefer a trusted, or at least a person who has done it before but I know that may not be the case. I'd also like to know from anyone who has one installed if they noticed after a while more wear in the transmission itself than ordinary? I know with each modification done you will wear systems out faster but would like to know if anyone had horror stories. I've searched around on multiple forums to find a place and I've seen a lot of recommendations for this VB kit as well which is why I went for it.

I do but it could be a bit far for you if you are in Aus, the UK, the US or Christchurch. Put your hometown up.

Sorry forgot to put that one specific detail up. I'm in Perth and I can't really afford to drop the VB and send it either.

Most guys probably do it themselves - just be carefull to keep everything clean and watch out for odd parts falling out. Otherwise just ring around a few auto transmission shops for a quote.

That makes sense. For the most part I've done all mods so far myself but I don't trust myself still being a novice to touch a VB. I'll call some places like you suggested. Thanks for the info though.

    • I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years. 
    • Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner
    • That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?
    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR. 
    • For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
