Step 1: Order your Shiftplus from CobaltPerformanceParts, TurboTech, Gravana.

Step 2: Wire the end of B&M thru the firewall from the inside, there is a rubber grommet directly behind the gas pedal, pop it out, and stick the wire thru.


Step 3: Locate the wire, and pull it on out on the engine side (it comes out behind the fuse box, so it is kind of difficult to get to)

Step 4: Locate the transmission harness. (It is between the valve cover and fuse box about one foot down; It is a 2" diameter gray plug, plugged into a large aluminum block, you cant miss it!)



Step 5: Pull the wires out of the wiring loom, locate the Light Blue wire with a white stripe, and the Red Wire with a Black stripe ---- IMPORTANT ---- there are two red wires with black stripes, you want the one that is NOT twisted with another wire! ----

Step 6: Mate the Black wire on the Shiftplus with the Light Blue wire, and the Red Shiftplus wire with the Red wire with either a wire tap, or solder them directly.


Step 7: Tape it up, make it look pretty, close the hood, and VIOLA, you're done!

With Stage II activated, shift from 'P' into 'D' will give you a nasty lurch, but I wouldnt worry about it since our tranny's are rated for 230 ft/lbs of torque! The shifts are much more solid and sound feeling. The only thing I dislike is there should be a third setting which is all out nuts, 100% pressure strictly for track use only. I have no problem cruising around with Stage II all day.

FYI - Once you select a setting, you cannot bump it back down until the car is turned off and restarted.

Automatic Transmissions Only!

BlackLS

So can you chirp the tires now

HackAbuse

Not on dry pavement, I think if I had the stock continentals i'd be able to do it, but I have brand new Pirelli P6's

How will the internal transmission seals hold up to this type of pressure? The mechanicals may hold up to it, but what about the rubber seals and such?

HackAbuse

The j-body's have long tens of thousands of miles on theirs without problems

red_wing_2121

Ever hear anyhting bad about them at all though?

This is something I would definitely be interested in, but kinda worried about durability.

HackAbuse

Keep in mind these transmissions were Designed for a 3.1L V6, we make far less power than that.

In fact, you will be prolonging the life of your transmission with one of these, since you will be reducing the amount of friction in the tranny

BlackLS

So have you had any problems with it yet like it not shifting right or cel's ect.

HackAbuse

Lot's of Jbody guys said Stage 2 gave them CELs

I've been running Stage 2 since it was installed in my car, and no CELs yet

BlackLS

So how many miles do you have with the shiftplus installed and how hard are the shifts?

red_wing_2121

And can this be used as the final version, or is that still in the process of being made?

HackAbuse

About 100 so far, the shifts aren't as hard as I'd like them to be for the track, but its nice for daily driving.

Keep in mind my definition of a "hard shift" is metal clanging, chassis twisting all out shift lol

HackAbuse

That's it, just order one, CPP is on back order for a day or two, but they will be back in stock soon

RedCavyRS99

turbotech has them aswell they work on MOST electronic GM autos very nice little toy and makes a big difference in how the car feels. Plus its only what under $50 shipped? A good investment if you ask me.

HackAbuse

TurboTech does in fact have them, but when I ordered mine, it took them 5 days alone to ship it, and another 3 for it to arrive.

8 Days total

I still like my autotrans intercepter I like the tuning capabilitys. But I like how the b&m can be turned on and off in the car. If only the Intercepter was like that.

Nice job Hack Us autos are fighting back

HackAbuse

Did I mention I'm going to be in the 14's by this summer?

Auto FTW!

That Cobalt LT Guy

Your getting that 75 shot arent ya if so good luck, Im saveing for the turbo

HackAbuse

I like the idea of having a cheap, universal product, that, when I dont want it, I dont have to use it, it's as easy as the flip of a switch

That Cobalt LT Guy

I have a nos wet system heading my way I might set it up for a 35 shot with the TURBO

BlackLS

Hey Hack can you take a pic of the plug that you have to tap in to?

HackAbuse

Will get one later today possibly

wdsoccer
