I am using a 94 imprezza 5mt. It has 4.11 gears with a spec stage 2 kevlar clutch. People have certain things against the cabel clutch setup but I actually like it better as I have control over pedal positioning and actuation points. Not many people like where my pedals are but... I like it

Do you guys run wet or dry and where can I find a good kit? I have a nitrous refil station at my work here... just found out today. So this could be a go. Is the nitrous hard on the tranny at all?

Install a trans cooler, small car shift kit & change your ATF and you should be good to go!

lol, not the nitrous itself, but the extra power, on shifts. How big of a tranny cooler. I would imagine it would have to be fairly small, as there is not much room to work with.

As long as you plumb it in-line with the stock cooler, anything between a 10,000-25,000 GVW trans cooler would probably work fine (larger the better of course).

The trans cooler is typically mounted infront of the radiator. You have a lot of room to work with!

perfect. I will probably pick up a trans cooler this weekend then. And the filter and then see what kind of kits I can find for the nitrous

A Zex 75shot dry would be perfect for someone trying to pick up some quick horsepower. I am looking to find a 100 shot wet and pick up a progressive controller for it so I don't kill my trans on launch
