RE4F03B Automatic with shift kit and Turbo = Success!
Hey
@Y2KG20
Signed up at g20.net trying to nab your brain but it's been 4 days an the mods haven't cleared me to post yet.
Anyways I have a 93 ser automatic with the RE4F03V and it's got a weird 2nd gear issue. Sometime it shifts, sometimes it skips 2nd and if you really get into it the car runs 1st all the way to redline an will just peg the rev limiter until you let off the gas and then it shifts to 2nd then immediately to 3rd. It's only on the upshift from 1st though as if it kicks down from 3rd or 4th it'll snag 2nd and run like a raped ape and shift normally after that.
I've been contemplating the transgo HD2 but seems your the only one on the net that has used it, or at least posted about it.
What's your impressions on the shift kit? Is it suitable for heavy stop go traffic? Also I'm not planning on boosting my car I may just do some bolt ons or very least a stockish neovvl. That won't push the power of a turbo so the trans should take the extra power with the line pressure being boosted.
Everyone says swap to 5 speed but honestly I just want a nice DD with some tasteful mods to make it a little fun and be super reliable. The car is a 1 owner cream puff so I'd like to not hack it all up. Plus I just had brand new axles installed 2 months ago.
I work on heavy duty trucks all day when I get off work and stuck in my 1 1/2 hr ride home traffic I'd rather not spend all my time clutching and shifting.
In your opinion would the shift kit improve the trans or kill it? It had 146k when I got it and now has 157k in almost 4 months. It hasn't got any worse nor better. The fluid was changed, filter changed, etc.
