Automatic Dsm'sAlso you don't need to pull the transmission or touch any other internals to change the end clutches. They can be accessed through the passenger wheel well very easily.While I certainly would never discourage you from replacing the filter and reconditioning the shift solenoids...

I've had this happen to two cars both times it was a valve body problem. In one it was just that the valve body needed cleaning, but in the other the pressure relief valve had damaged its seat and was allowing all pressure to bleed off. To fix it I needed to replace the center plate that the...

Not a bad idea generally, but probably a waste of money in this case. Fluid and filter together get expensive. It is time to change the transmission because even if things get better it wont last.

Probably end clutches. They are fairly cheap at around $100 and can be changed in about 20 minutes without even draining the fluid from the transmission. That said, just because you don't have to drain the fluid it would still be a good idea to do a flush and filter at the same time since there...

While I will agree with John that the car has a bigger problem than just the filter needing to be replaced I can tell you that replacing the filter will get you by in a pinch for a while. If you need it for transportation then changing the filter is a cheap way to handle the issue for now. When...

If you really need the flush then do it the right way. You wont be saving yourself money by the time you waste a few quarts of fluid.Also while absolutely using the wrong ATF is bad just go ahead and drain it, clear the tranny cooler with compressed air, then fill it again with the right...

The car is mostly the same in terms of things that would affect VE. Don't expect to be able to get into boost (safely) based on those values but the car should run unless your setup is hugely different. That said setting it up from scratch would probably be just as easy.

I can't tell you what the normal specs for fluid pressure are but I can point you in the right direction by sending you to this manual. http://www.atdsm.com/pdf/atoh3.pdfAlso one way to check if the problem is fluid pressure is to do the blue wire mod. Search the forums for how to do it, but...

For this price you might consider a cable and software from evoscan.

Unless you are running a giant amount of airflow then I would suggest avoiding that method honestly. A linear load to MAP pressure setup requires a lot of tuning and requires that you're pretty good at it whereas matching the MAP/load settings to a stock fuel map will put your car close to a...

I'll go look under my cars when it stops raining but my automatic turbo spyder has a separate transmission cooler which I'm almost certain has no provision to tie into the radiator. I haven't spent a lot of time under my 1g automatic but I think that it may have a different radiator than 1g...

That is the basic idea of how it works, but you can/need to fix this when changing MAF size by adjusting the MAP sensor VE vs Load calibration so that you match load to approximately what you need. Or, you can make load linear and then build timing and fuel tables from scratch so long as you are...

They're shift solenoids. Two of them control which gear you are in, and one of them controls the line pressure in the transmission (the one with the blue wire). Without them plugged in you'll only have 3rd gear.

Do whatever you like in that regard. I'm using evo8 MAF settings but the car doesn't actually care since you are in effect simulating an MAF it just means your settings elsewhere will be different.

This question has been answered a lot and you can find threads that cover all of it in this section but the short rundown is that the transmission itself should be happy with stock internals to run those times with a few additions.Stiff motor/suspension mounts to stop wheel hop and save your...
