Trans resistor

Devilman · #1 04-13-2010, 12:06 PM

What is the best way to replace the transmission resistor in the engine bay? aside from going go-go gadget macgyver and modding up something that would make the professor on Gilligan's island envious. I'm assuming there isn't a brick and mortar that sells them anymore (not a common item)

A kick in the right direction would be appreciated

Are you saying you need a replacement for yours? I have a couple extra and I'm sure there are others that have spares.

I have a spare as well (it's from a Lego, but it still works fine).

Another option is to use the vacuum-assist module from Smallcar Performance:

It's a pretty inexpensive ($60 or so) item that bypasses the resistor and uses vacuum to somewhat improve shifting.

I used one for a couple of years before replacing it with a TCU add-on module. If anyone wants my old one, they can have it for $35 + shipping from the Seattle area.

You can reach me at paulca13@yahoo.com if you're interested.
