NTE resistors

Hop · #1 02-24-2008, 03:54 PM

Hi. I want to change the trans resistor behind the batt and I see in the how-to sect that I need an NTE 25w 15 ohm resistor. I've checked auto zone and napa and they don't carry it. I can order it online for $1.05 but the shipping is $10. Does anyone else know where I can pick one of these up? I'll try radio shack tomorrow.

Thanks

I tried radio shack when mine was out and they don't carry them.

You require simply a 25 watt 15 ohm resistor. Any make will do the job. An electronics shop handling hobby stuff, or radio spares, should have one. Do nor concern yourself regarding the brand name.

contact SVXfiles or go to his website. hes got all different types of flavors.

I like chocolate.

what is the desired effect of the change in resistance?harder shifts?softer shifts? quicker?

I think this is one of those "replace the old worn-out part" type deals instead of a performance benefit. Any performance benefit is going to be from the fact it's a new resistor that has the correct resistance, instead of an old one that's cracked, etc...

For very good reason, would you please advise why you wanted top change the resistor, e.g. are/were you experiencing transmission problems, If so exactly what concerned you?

Hi Trevor,

Tranny seems fine but I am getting 16 flashes when I start the car and Tom suggested checking the resistor.

check your transmission codes

Hi Greg,

Now I have the picture and Tom gave you good advice.

Early models of the shift kit add on thing cause the light to flash. Get rid of it ,is my advice.

It is very strange that you do not have a resistor fitted, as this is required as part and parcel of the operation of the shift kit, which should be connected to it. You will do no harm driving the car for a short while until you sort things out.

Hopefully I don't have the same thing going on with my car when I decide to pull out my resistor, which I hope is there...

Meanwhile back in Aus, somehow, I find it logical to pull out the resistor and check it instead of pulling out transmission codes, I don't know why.
And if I test the resistor or see that the resistor is in good condition, I'll be completely lost. I'm doing the resistor change tomorrow with this resistor...

It looks pretty promising, (fingers crossed) and I will take some pictures and post everything with results.
