"it shifts firm" means that there is no slack between gears, slides right in, when you dont have a firm shift there is like a limobo mode between gears then bangs into gear...
shift kit just makes it change gears quicker, advantages... makes gear change quicker in a race so your more likely to get the upper hand over a car not fitted with one |

HI will a shift kit help change gears before hitting the rev limiter? or will continue to do so?

shift pattens are exactly the same it ONLY CHANGES HOW FAST THE BOX CHANGES... so instad of taking 1.5 seconds it takes less then a second to change. |

Hey guys.
Just got myself my first ford (El fairmont) after having 5 commodores. Just did a complete service on the car ( god damn distributor wtf is with its position ) and installed a shift kit as well. BUT i used a On Off On switch What different does this make? Is having it on off turn it off? And what does the other 2 on's do? One for 18ohm(firm) n one for 5.6ohm(soft)? Is that correct? If so which one do i keep it on when not wanting to use shift kit? Thanks guys. |

On off on switch might be the multi firmness switch.
Allows for different levels of shift firmness and of course the off position. |

it would go into limp mode if its just a standard dpdt switch as one side would be on and other side would be off and centre would be disconnecting wires.

Now im confussed.
Yeh it has 6 connectors but i joined them up to 3 on one side. From what i know the ecu hasnt gone into limp mode.. Yet. It seems off it doesnt do anything, flick it up it will get a bit firmer and flick it down it will chirp.. |

i put in one of these shift kits and i think the shift isnt firm enough, i have an ED GLi which i have rigged up with the 18ohm and 5.6 ohm resistor and it does nothing. And it isnt going in Limp Home Mode so it must be working but the shift is pretty well the same as stock. Different resistors?
