Shift Kit

Living in the warm weather of Vegas I knew that I needed some trany cooling help so I added the first one - after 3000 miles I checked the fluid and found that it had a slight smell of burning. I added a second cooler and that solved the problem so then I added the RP fluid. Keeping in mind that I drive the 8 very hard in some very hot temps the results have been great. I now have the interceptor x and have raised my shift limits up and am sure I need additional help. The pressure riser should make the shifts more positive. I may need a larger radiator (and torque converter) if the effect is what I am hoping for.

I did not know that interceptor x had anything for the AT. I met a guy today who had the greddy turbo on his AT 8 and he said he had to have it tuned, but overall he loves it. He is only pushing 5psi but he is pushing 300whp. I did not get into what other mods he has but thats not bad at all.

Would that be Rick from Rick's Rotary? 300WHP seems a little high for the amt of fuel the inj. can supply. Unless he put some massive ones in.

It would definitley be helpful to improve the shift speed. Especially the 2nd to 3rd shift near redline. That one pisses me off at every track day. I think I saw Easy complaining about it too (found a post by him in one of my searches). I have the same issue he mentioned - slow 2nd to 3rd with some slipping sometimes.

It does not work. The TCM is too fricking smart for our own good.
LevelTen has some interesting stuff. I like this one personally.

Well I did, sort of. I bought it and installed. It was ASSumed that it would work with the 8's RC4A-EL since it was based on the 3rd gen Rx-7 R4A-EL. But the TCM's are diffrent and the valve body control is a little different also.
