Hey, Im looking into buying a B&M shiftplus kit. I heard they can do a lot of sweet things and make our autos much harder shifts. Has anybody here with a 2.4L tried or are currently using the B&M Shift+ that can give me some feedback on the Pros and Cons, and how well they like it. What exactly does it do that makes it so sweet?

Also, where can i buy one for my '07 ss?

Comeon somebody give me some feedback...

 

well, im not a 2.4 but the B&M works with any year i think. and yes, the shifts are MUCH harder depending on what setting you have it on. i have it on my car and it was great.

 

how much is hte shift plus and how do u put it on??

 

its only $30-45 bucks plus shipping. super cheap.

 

im a 07 2.2 with a shiftplus

pros: excellent shifts..way better than stock, chirps tires from 1-2 , and its just a little funner to drive with

cons: when on setting II you get a lurch shifting from P to D, sometimes in and out of reverse

overall..get it from turbotechracing.com

and note: to turn it OFF, you have to turn OFF the car....just a side note

 

2.4s have tuning i believe.... and i got my b&m for 11 bucks off ebay

 

thanks guys! ill be ordering mine pretty soon. anymore feedback would be greatly appreciated. Any long term problems, or install problems i should watch out for?

 

Does it change the shift points at all or just boost the line pressure? Does anyone have any tuning that can change shift points for the autos?

 

I got a tranny pressure CEL on mine one day when showing off. Haven't used it since.

 

no problems at all.....quick easy install.....ive had it installed since last year and run it on stage 1 all the time......sometimes i put it on 2 just for fun

 

What if my tranny does that WITHOUT the ShiftPlus? lol. My ***** always shifted a bit hard in-n-out of park..

 

well i guess its goin to be harder now

 

this isnt a safe product for your transmission...

this product is designed for cars that are pushing alot more Hp than stock transmission was setup to handle. For transmissions that are slipping due to the extreme HP.

THIS WONT MAKE YOUR CAR FASTER! It doesnt increase the time it takes to shift the transmission, it just makes it shift harder. Take this analgy, when normally walking around, your feet hit the ground at a comfortable force that causes you no pain or damage. Now try walking around stepping on the ground as hard as you can with every step. Your not going any faster all your doing is causing pain and damage to your feet, legs, back. Its the same thing.

 

well if your an idiot and dont do regular maintenance on ur tranny yea u are goin to cause damage to ur ****.....as some idiot already did....for the rest of us that know how to maintain a vehicle its all good

 

in all honestly, i kno for a fact that the use of this everyday for the past year has worn down my tranny, u can feel it when u turn it off, its not like it was stock, i just keep it on all the time. its time for a syntetic tranny flud swap.

ohh ya, and toooonning

 

have u done regular maintenance on it....cuz ive had mine for close to a year now and i always have it on stage 1. sometimes stage 2....and if i happen to turn it off which is rare....the tranny still shifts like it was new.....

 

I'm thinking that when I swap my fluid to Synthetic that it'll make my initial shift out of park softer.. I hope.. Because it kinda sucks. lol.

 

Does or will the B&M shift + work on the 08 HHR SS??

 

no clue

 

We have them in stock at www.TurboTechRacing.com we have sold well over 200 of them the last year.

 

i have mixed thoughts on this. Does anybody know if it is 100% safe, and if it will or will not void my warrenty?

 

i know its not safe and yes it will void your warranty. That other guy spewing crap out of his mouth doesnt know what he is talking about.

The way this product works is it causes your trans fluid pump to work at either 50% or 100%. Now yes the pump was designed to work at those rates, but when you turn this on, its constantly at those rates. It can very easily burn out your trans pump and just destroy your trans. The way your trans normally works is right before its supposed to shift it ups the line pressure with the pump to allow the shifts to be normal, then quickly goes back down. With this kit its constantly running at 50% or 100%.

Like said before by someone, after using this for a while stock doesnt feel right anymore. I had one on my last car a 2001 Cavalier Z24 Supercharged. After about a year of use, if i turned it off the trans would slip so bad i would have to let off the gas in order for it to shift.

And again, THIS DOESNT MAKE YOUR CAR FASTER!!!!!!!

 

But can't i just leave it in the off postion unless im racing?
