Re: Smallcar shift kit
Is that for the stock transmission? Or the 4.44?

Re: Smallcar shift kit
Not meaning to step on anyone's toes here, but.....Most will agree, the Smallcar shift kit is junk. Mine went in the dumpster.

Re: Smallcar shift kit
Does it come with a blueprint for a custom transmission mount? If so you should scan it and post it.

Re: Smallcar shift kit
Was fitted to my stock setup, no idea if it's cross-compatible or not
Toes stepped on It's better than nothing to be honest. |

Re: Smallcar shift kit
The smallcar shift kit will work with any version of 4EAT used in the SVX. I have one in our 97 stock transmissioned SVX, and had one in our previous 92 with 4.44 transmission from 97 Outback. I personally liked the way it firmed the shift from 2nd to 3rd under 1/4 throttle. It is (relative to other shift firming mods, such as the Quick change, ECUtune valve body, chipped TCU etc.) easy to buy, install and bypass/remove if you dont like it.
If you do a search, you will find plenty of discussion both pro and con. I dont personally know of anyone who has experianced transmission failure directly because of it. I had two different chipped TCUs in the 4.44 car, as well as the resistor from SVXfiles. I had bypassed the Smallcar kit to see the difference. I liked the shift better with than without.

Re: Smallcar shift kit
I have the small car shift kit in my 92 svx.
I have it set all the way on hard, I like how shifts on hard, comfort and smoothness are not my goal.. The quicker shifts from 2nd to 3rd are worth it, even it if is a piece of junk... This is how it shifts from 2nd to 3rd in my SVX: ECUtune v1.5 with smallcar shift kit. |

Re: Smallcar shift kit
When I get a third car in the family I will probably go with the upgraded valve body from LAN. I have put it off due to having to ship back the core and the fact the car is my daily driver. I lean toward reliability verus harder shifts but I think the valve body will improve both. I don't know a lot about the small car kit as I was scared off of it early. But I doubt it would be worse that some other options which I think can't possibly be good for long term reliability. It will clearly speed up the shifts and while some will argue that it does it in a way that may be detrimental, at least energy isn't be stored up and dumped into the tranny like you get with other options out there.
