hmmm, that is interesting.

I think you are onto the right thing there. By substituting any of the resistors for something stronger, you should be able to control the firmness of the shifts, in this case make them softer.

ive been experimenting with the shift kit and found a nice medium between making the shifts quicker and not sloppy and at the same time not making them harsh and feel like its going to kill the box and the diff.

18OHM Resistor and a 2.2OHM resistor works well.

anyone looking to tone it down thats the combination.

I have to admit, this thread is still a great read, even tho i didn't get around to fitting my shift kit, the auto leaked too much so i swapped in a 5spd. :twisted:

I do however, almost have the ED ready for the road, and it now has the auto in it, so i may end up fitting it after all. From the sounds of it, it will make the stocker that bit more fun to drive, and might not make my g/f whinge about having the drive the " auto " so much, rofl. :twisted:

Cheers

btw the 2.2OHM with the 18OHM is nice with an EL ecu... the eb-ed ecu its a bit more rough obviously the ef/el ecus have a programmed smoother shift.

the shift kit doesnt make the gearbox change at different times it just speeds up the change, so if your gearbox holds onto a gear once you shift up then it will still do that

Nope, all it does is make the shift firmer and faster.
