I was perusing some thresds and "grossgary" i think mentioned deactivating the shift resistor. Does this reduce wear? And how do you do it. Just curious.

Does this reduce wear?

no. that's only something i mention to convey the idea that it doesn't matter if it's unplugged or not. most people are scared to mess with these things because they lack experience, knowledge, or both.

And how do you do it.

unplug it. it has one electrical pigtail, unplug and done.

I'll leave it be. I have bigger fish to fry right now with my POS Jeep lol.

OK, that's the how, where's the where?

 

I'd be interested to see if that affects the bang into 3rd when downshifting on the interstate.

I might add the reason that our prior gen 4eats are so "rubust" is because they aren't the smoothest shifting trannies around. smoothness can equate to wear and tear. unplugging the Solenoid A resistor did firm up shift points. however, I eventually got the "excessive shift shock" code. so, it does need alittle slippage to be healthy I guess. It's the longer aluminum covered thingy on the passenger side strut tower with one connector to it.

 

someone needs to start a poll: how long has it been since you last cleared a CEL code and what was it, mmm:rolleyes:

I still have one i think i shook my O2 sensor apart wheelin the other week. It will wait till spring to get fixed i think.

Soobys have such wierd shift charecteristics. The Resistor (under the battery i do believe) is to soften i think the 1-2 shift. People have unplugged it and noticed no differnce.

 

Right now Blu has a hard 1-2 shift when making a turn (not torque bind) i dont even think it still works. Other times the shift is as smooth as silk.

 

 

I think its more noticable in a SVX transmission, where people unplug it for firmer shifts.

 

You would probably do better by just chainging the fluid

it's usually around the p/s strut tower as someone already pointed out.

the XT6 as well, it has a lagging 2-3 shift. with it unplugged, it's better. kevin had his valve body modified to improve this same shift area and that didn't help much, though it was "supposed to".

 

i unplug it on all of my XT6's, but not all of my EJ vehicles.

 

i often recommend it rather than buying that "shift resistor kit", they sell a kit to give quicker shifts. but why buy the kit when you can just unplug the thing? to me it's silly to buy the kit.

Well who moved it to the passenger side without telling me

 

hrmm?

 

HRMM?

 

(thats what i get for reading Ozzie SVX sites)
