Ecutune Stage 1av1, Ecutune TCU, Smallcar Shift Kit.. .

I had an Ecutune Stage 1v4 ECU chip for years.. .

I've been encouraged to do a 1av1 upgrade and TCU by LAN.. .

I've received them.. but haven't installed them yet.. .

My question is??? Shud I still operate the Smallcar Shift Kit which I've used for so long.. (with the 1v4 chip)? After adding the 1av1 upgrade and the Ecutune TCU.. ??

The Smallcar SHift Kit has been my favorite MOD! It tightens up the 2nd to 3rd shift nicely.. a great cure.. for a previously ReAlLy SlOpPY OEM shift 2>3!

Thanks for any HeLp! Jim

Yes bin the Small Car Kit, and fit one that does the shift properly.

A Quick Change unit comes to mind. It will work well with LAN's TCU mods.
