I've tried that and every other way possible to wire this thing DWD1985, But it hasn't seemed to make a difference. I still have a blinky power light on not all, But most start ups. The kit seems to be working as intended though and has the 670 OHM resistor on it and so on. I just ignore it and drop it down in 3rd every now and again to make sure I still have engine braking and all is still working well.

I've Read Trevor's Posts
Trevor:
I know I've tried to digest your posts and I think I mostly understand... With regard specifically to my prior post, I thought, a priori, that when a resistor/switch (read: the smallcar addon) is in series, it doesn't matter whether the addon comes before or after the OEM resistor. That said, the prior posts in this thread suggested that the connection sequence mattered. Rather than thinking too much about it, I tried both scenarios and reported back (i.e. no blinking w/o small car; blinking with smallcar irrespective of the order of series wiring). Now... Putting aside the wisdom of the small car addon and the tradeoff between valve "wear" from abrupt shifts and band/transmission wear from "slow" shifts, is it your considered opinion that the small car shiftkit cannot be used without "inducing" the blinking power light? Some seem to suggest that small car shift kits and no blinking lights can happen. Others have not achieved this. And, I want to say explictly that I understand that blinking lights vs. no blinking lights may have little to do with reality (that is, the actual wear and tear on transmission. or what is actual performance of car). That is, I realize, this is really sort of a "point of order" academic discussion. Also, for the record, I see little difference between when I use the small car kit and not. For the most part, the improvement in transmission performance seems to have come from addressing the underlying problem with the OEM resistor (and in fact, I've been driving around w/o the small car kit connected but with the new resistor installed in place of OEM). Best, -jim D. |

I mentioned this after installing mine, but my blinking light was directly related to how soft or firm I set the shifts to be. Hard shifts would make the light blink, soft would not.

The following is an extract from the opening post in the thread that you have suggested by way of a reference. Please confirm for members, that your advice can be accepted as exactly correct. Quote ---”When full throttle is used, the solenoid stays as an open drain, and the pressure is held high. As the throttle is closed the Throttle Duty Cycle current, is increased to reduce the solenoids drain on the Pilot pressure that acts on the Regulator Pressure Modifier valve and Line pressure is reduced.”
