DIY - Transgo VB Kit

My experience with an upgraded valve body/shift kit was that the shifts really weren't that much harder, more that they were a lot quicker. They were more noticeable, but not because of their harshness. You noticed it because it shifted faster than any car you'd ever driven. I'd do this in a heartbeat if I didn't have 2½ years left on my warranty. I'm do for a transmission fluid change right now. My next one will be near the warranty expiration, so maybe then (if they're still being made).

I noticed that too.... I mentioned it quite a long time ago but no one else had (I dont think too many had 3.7 though)... I dont exactly know why it shifts faster (or seems to)... but I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed...

granted not the same track, but you can hear how much faster the shifts are. The before video is with the stillen VB.

^^^ seriously, shifts feel faster... I mentioned it couple years ago (or whenever I got the FD)... I'm certain its not equal to VB fast, but I questioned the phenomenon what I first noticed it...
give me a little credit there Athon, I'm able to discern between rev and shifts

I'm just saying...changing a FD can only change shift logic in the TCM to a certain degree. Its not going to increase your pressure. Thats why you need a shift kit. You'll never look back.
