Transmission Resistor & Resistance
I pulled my TCU codes this weekend and found a #11 Duty Solenoid a error. My resistor is shot and I have a few questions. Is the OME resistor optimal for shifting or is there any room for improvement. I have been looking for a resistor with the exact same specs as the OEM with not much luck. Rumor has it the stock resistor is a 20 watt 15 ohm resistor. Should I try the available 25watt 15 ohm, or blow $65 for an oem? I have a Small Car Performance shift kit and would like to know how it effects the resistance on the circuit. When I replace the OEM resistor should I toss the shift kit? I think it may have been a band-aid for my bum resistor. As always, your input is greatly appreciated

Install a 20 Ohm resistor (two 10 Ohms in series) from Radio Shack for $1.50 along with your Small Car shift kit and be happy.

Why (2)10's instead of just (1) 20??

Actually, the 25 watt 15 ohm resistor is a better choice.
it's the same resistance, yet can handle a higher load. [diisipate more heat] |

You could also bug all the 5spd owsers for their used resistors

i didn't know radio shack still existed.
they've been taken over by "the source by circuit city" over here a good few years ago....

Those four phrases comprise the entire list of positive responses known to the local folk. And, fixed your post there Steve.

Tom, sorry about the shack vs home thing. I was trying to bring up your standards.
