I heard from a friend of mine from my old work you can install titanium gearing into an auto trans, but sounded clugy but interested me so wanted some feedback on this, thanks.

^They do.
Break it first, then see what you need. I personally suggest bypassing the stock rad cooler in the event your internal radiator cooler has a leak. (The day after I converted mine, we had a dodge come in the mixed the coolant and ATF) I bought an Eclipse radiator cooler for like $10 or so at the pull-a-part. I switched to Mobil 1 ATF. Mobil makes the T-IV (3309) and says it will work in its place. I'd use T-IV if I didn't use synthetic. The transgo kit is probably just going to adjust the firmness. The plus side of a really firm shift is that its a quicker shift. Less time slipping the clutch discs means less wear. You achieve this by shimming the accumulators. You can apply more pressure for more hold, but also you can overdo it. I'd like to look into how to adjust the shiftpoint electronically, but I'm too busy to tackle it on my daily. In essence, you apply 12+ on the solenoid and it shifts. I admit I don't understand stall at all, but a torque converter does it -------------------- |
