Question tranny resistors
ok i need a little help here. from what i understand, playing with the resistance will yeild different results from our blinking power light and our shift firmness. from what i gather 20 ohms is a sweet spot. can someone tell me the exact type of resistor i need and how to wire it in? a diagram would be sweet if anyone knows of one. lost on the while in series and parallel thing too. been a while since i got in to any of this. could i just put on end of the resistor in one plug terminal and the other end to the second terminal and solder it in? help would be appreciated. thanks, Jason

Why not just get the smallcar shift kit and have a fully adjustable unit?

doesn't your stock resistor have to work for that? mine is dead thats why i'm trying to fix it.plus i'm definitely the poorest svx owner on here and can't afford the part so i was just gonna do it myself for a few bucks and it would be better than stock.

Ok, that's different. Yes your stock resistor needs to work for that. I thought you were just going for a modification.

I know less about resistors than I know about women. Hopefully someone else will step in and tell you what you need.

I wanna see how my car acts with the resistor unplugged. Anyone wanna tell me how to get to it or what it looks like and what i gotta do? Is there any harm in unplugging it?

Yeah possible harm as when I unplug mine the solonoid a goes funky and aerates all my ATF. otherwise its all good and look behind the battery (fender side) if you can't figure out disconnect it you don't deserve to pull it

Like thundering said, it's behind the battery and mounted on the fender.



After unplugging it, you'll notice that upshifts are super firm and extremely quick. When left in 'D', there's no down-side to unplugging the resistor. If you put your shifter in '3' or '2' you'll notice that your downshifts will become quite 'jerky'.

I can't even get a loan with out a cosign right now for my medical bills.... anyways I assume you know that its located behind the battery after that its cutting the two wires and figuring out which is positive then connect the long end of the resistor to the positive and the other end to the other wire (if I should by random stroke have the wrong electronic item correct me now) otherwise I say you should get the multi pack at radio shack for like 3 bucks and test em all kinda thing

so i could just put the resistor in the factory plug from one terminal to the other and solder and tape it in?
