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?

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?

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'. -Chike

Some (myself included), but not all, found that there was some gear "searching" with the resistor unplugged, i.e., random shifting back & forth from 4th to 3rd when under very light throttle or deceleration. Plus no way to avoid the blinking power light - covering up any other systems errors.
An article I read a few years back had a formula for increasing the resistor value for a "sporty" shift, while still preserving the life of the solenoid. The formula worked out at a value of around 60-Ohms. You can go all the way up to around 500-Ohms before the system thinks the resistor has failed "open". However the article claimed this high a resistance value under-exercised the solenoid, leading to premature failure. BTW, I tried a 50-Ohm value and found occasional binding from the AWD section, I think the sweet spot might indeed be around 20, but I never tried - just went back to 10. |

does anyone know what type of resistor i need and how to hook it up?

20 ohm 2 amp I belive should do you good.

I thought there was(polarity), sorry. anyways yeah so long as its similar size you should be able to get it in the resitor thing already there.
