So I electronically mailed (e-mail for you non-technical types) smallcar about their auto shift kit.
I was browsing the site, hoping to purchase it, lo and behold, shipping is to 49 states.
Great. So they either don't ship here or to Hawaii. I click on.
Bottom of the next page I read shipping is to only 48 states.
Great. So I am now confused.
Anyway I dropped them a note inquiring something related to this situation Saturday night. When I checked my inbox Sunday I realized it was the weekend an figured they could reply by Monday. I'm pretty sure today is Monday.

It's almost 8pm. That's like, later, whereever they are. Arizona I think.
Anyhoo, anyone know if they ship to Alaska?
I mean, couldn't I just drop them an extra ten dollars for some expedite service?

Man they ship to Lebanon, i don't think they won't ship to Alaska... and try to contact Rob, he will help you out.

NikFu S. · #3 04-05-2005, 12:07 AM

Who is Rob and how can I get ahold of him?

SilverSpear · #4 04-05-2005, 12:20 AM

Good luck Nikfu. I cant imagine that they wouldn't send up here.. Not as if they pay for shipping. Let us know, someday i want to buy a shift kit as well (im in Anchorage).

NikFu S. · #6 04-05-2005, 03:44 AM

Have I seen you around?

edit: There was a 92 LS-i?

Sorry this it OT.... But I have to know, What's the weather like up there now???

NikFu S. · #9 04-05-2005, 02:40 PM

Probably around 30 degrees, sun beaming intensely through the cloud covered sky. Completely cloud covered, as usually. Looks like the sky is actually white. The ground grey with dirt and dust that won't wash away until maybe later his month. A few mounds of compacted snow here and there amidst black piles of what I call smice. Snow and mud ice.

So yeah.

Ever see a maroon svx around? i have little fish sticker on rear window.

I ment LS-l i fix now.

NikFu S. · #11 04-05-2005, 04:31 PM

I have seen one, but chances are you would have seen me if it was you. I make it a point to get spotted by other SVXers. I've only met with two, both dark teals. My count for the state is around 25.

Thanks for the referral. I should mention that any emails regarding purchases or inquiries should be sent to sales@smallcar.com not the email address that you get from the website. I won't get the email otherwise.

hey nick i got mine shipped up to north pole. i just called them directly and ordered it. no problems or hassles. in fact they didnt even mention shipping to ak. and u will like the kit tons. i do.

NikFu S. · #14 06-15-2005, 07:50 PM

I've had it installed for a month now at least (:

However, nice timing with the thread revival, because I think the kit is losing it's edge. It definitely does not feel as it did the last time I adjusted it. :/

If you feel that the kit is losing its edge then perhaps it's coming time to service your transmission. The kit doesn't "wear out". As a matter of fact, the kit simply redirects existing vacuum and current to essentially fix the problem the SVX came with from the factory that caused the transmission to shift less firmly thus creating higher temps which burn out transmissions.

I also think that now since you're used to the shifting, you're concentrating a lot on trying to feel the performance but your perspective has changed.
