lacey 2.2 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Legacy 777 had a post in 2002 about disconnecting the line preasure resister from the from the tranny. What became of this idea? Will it hurt the tranny? I tried it this morning and I love the way my tranny acts. Any long term damage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Yes it will cause issues long term. Or at least it did with mine. The theory behind this is fine when under acceleration, however under light throttle applications and idling, this puts a lot of excess pressure on the shift solenoids, etc. My car would not down shift when I manually moved the gear selector with the resistor out. I drove with the resistor out for only a little bit. After plugging it back in, whenever I downshifted from D to 3 it would act a little weird and has done so ever since. Some may not care to shift manually, but I did. One of the guys on the legacycentral bbs was going to use a power resistor that was a little higher in resistance as to firm up shifts, but not totally remove the resistor from the system. He was also looking at trying to make a switch or something that would use the resistor when at idle, but shorted the circuit once you reached half throttle or something like that. I'd plug it back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
