Wire #7 (Gordgee's grouding gear) - I give up!

Okay, even with the ramps I can't get the transmission wire on. I give up. Anyone know a shop in Irvine (OC) area that will let you have lift time for a small fee?

Has anyone tried to use the short transmission wire option? I hear it is 90% effective...might go w/ this if I can't get a shop to help out...one wire away...this sucks....

They are part of Gordgee's grounding gear...

Drew, if you help me get this damn wire on, I'll swing by with a six pack of whatever your favorite beer is...

It is very tasty. Too bad it's only available for a couple months each year.

Well I'm not a T totaler but all i need is a pack of IBC Root Beer.

In Response to Algy, these wires do a better job or grounding the electrical components back to the ground of the battery. This eliminates the noise, like you might hear on a badly grounded stereo, from the system allowing the computer and sensors to work better together. On my automatic the shifting of the transmission is much smoother, idle speed is smoother and slightly lower, and gas mileage has gone up although only slightly.

I am in the process of building my own wires for my other cars but Gordgee sells the best sets made. They have 10 wires that include several ground points that other companies use as well as seperate wiring for the Engine and Transmission Control Units.

You pretty well get what you pay for (maybe less on Ebay).

I found diference in performance and construction quality even among the name brands like Sun Auto, Stillen, and GroundingGear, which are all priced higher than the Ebay kits.

I myself just made my own kit.

Negative battery post to chassis
Chassis to Engine block (Two location)
Chassis to Harness ground
Chassis to Alternator

And the not least. I upgraded the power cable from the alternator to the battery.

It's kind of like the Big 3
