You may believe him but I frankly don't. The pump isn't effected by it. All it does is trick the computer to think there is more pressure in the lines than there really is. This forces the transmission to shift before it really needs to which in return gives you a quicker shift. I have had mine now for almost 2 yrs installed with no problems. I also have friends that have had them installed on cavi's for over 5 yrs with no problems. Last but not least they do offer quicker shifting. I have time slips from my local track last summer that it shaved .2 seconds off my quarter mile time and that was only in stage 1. Stage 2 was too much and caused the tires to break out but with softer tires I think it would help even more.

 

im gonna have to disagree with you. the computer doesnt trick the tranny into thinking there is more pressure. THERE REALLY IS MORE PRESSURE IN THE LINES. what do you think the squeeking noise is when it shifts mass hard. pressure being relived through the same amount of space with **** loads more force...... and by increasing something like pressure in the lines it will indeed increase wear and tear. yes some may last long with it, but ive heard of cases of pumps goin out quik. guess it is the luck of the draw and how hard you drive..

 

soldered mine, havnt had a problem since. i think its been about 5 months now.


I have had the shift+ for over a year and i turned it off stg 1 for one of the first times yesterday, the lag between shifts was literally like a full 2-3 seconds. pretty sure somethings wearing out....

 

personally i only use the shift+ every now and then...

 

are you using B&M Shift Minus?

 

no tht was when i turned theshift+ off... i seriously think tht thing fcked up my tranny, but i cant drive without it now

 

So now the truth unravels.

 

unfortunately... i would say that after over a year of use i can say that i would have not installed this had i known it would do this....

I do love the way my tranny feels with it on tho

 

Got it! Came today and just installed it, it is awesome. Thanks Hack for this great how to. I whould have been lost without it!

 

You're welcome

I don't think your tranny is fucked up, that's just how it was stock and you've forgotten how shitty it was before you had the shift plus

I can't turn mine off either. I can't drive a car with a stock automatic transmission anymore, it annoys the hell out of me.

 

The stock tranny SUCKED!!! the shiftplus didn't **** up your tranny.... it just accentuated how bad it was stock

 

Exactly!

I have wire taps on mine and occasionally they lose connection on the transmission therefore the Shiftplus stops working.

I absolutely can NOT drive the car without it, I have to pull over and mess with the wire taps until they start working again.

 

when i got it... i had it on stage 1 and was like... "wow, i dont even wanna try stage 2" a month later i put it on stage 2 and havent turned it off... stage 1 bothers me now..

 

Yeah I only drive with stage 2

 

im pretty sure stock setting wont lag 2-3 seconds tho, maybe something is indeed wrong? could you show us some video? it would help a lot

 

def, ill get some vids up and ll let you guys decide if my tranny is messed up

 

Is this the transmission harness i have an 07 ls.[IMG][/IMG]
And which wires is it haven checked yet but i dont know which ones to splice for mine has any one tried this with an 07 ls and know the wire colors

 

i cant tell what im looking at, take a picture from farther away. look at the how-to

 

I have a pic from far away and i looked at the how too and didnt see anything that looked like this. He said it a harness gray and about 2 inches wide i just want to varify it lol. I have an 07 also im confused on wire colors would anyone know the actual wire colors for the 07 thanks

 

BTW, for everyone tht has this, i got really tired of the big ass switch on the shift+, so i cut it off =)

dont worrry, just buy a 3way switch from radioshack and have a nice built in switch. 3 wires go to the switch. black is the center (ground) red stg 1 and white stg 2.

what actually does the work are the resistors in the thing halfway up the wire.

 

Just installed this into my 08 Sport today and yes it is the Orange/Black on Red and Light Blue/White on Black.

 

hey thanks man, i was about to go do it myself a few days ago...good thing i waited so it is resistance? i remember hack awhile ago trying to make a custom stage3....

 

i've been trying to decide if i should get one or not. still cant decide. some people say it'll mess up the tranny some people say its the best thing for an auto lol

 

well thats a little different, i kno how to do this and its not that hard, and u are correct about how it works, but that is the box half way up the wire. I just switched out the end of it. that huge black thing is just a switch.

 

I'm not seeing a orange black wire that's not wrapped with another wire. Just the light blue and white. It's a 07 2.4L btw.

Nevermind, I missed it haha, I didn't use those pink connectors though, they were holding well enough, I just wrapped the wires and tapped them up.
