Re: AW4 shift kit
The 340 HD2 at Summit has a few more parts/changes the most important is the ability to stay in 1st gear when shift into 1-2.

Re: AW4 shift kit
I'm not sure how the TCM would react to that, but it is obviously a highly desirable feature.

Re: AW4 shift kit
20 years ago I tried to install a kit in my syclone. Never again. One of the ball bearings dropped out, not fun. The kit is simple enough but all these springs, drilling, pistons, ball bearings there is many places to make just one mistake. Have a trans shop do it along with a filter and fluid change. Best spent money. Advice from experience.

Re: AW4 shift kit
I've done them a few times before and never had a problem.

Re: AW4 shift kit
Reviving a blast from the past with a question. Can this mod be done with trans in car? I bought a new converter when I swapped my engine out and this one seems even slower to shift than the last. I was hoping for more firm shifts, looks like a shift kit may be the only answer. Any negatives to this modification?

Re: AW4 shift kit
Yes, you just need to drain and drop the pan and remove the valve body. Watch out for springs and pistons and remember where they and the bolts go.

Re: AW4 shift kit
I made it with trans in car without problems also. The shifts are now quicker and smoother. Only 1 to 2 with low speed are a little bit more notable. The best thing is the 1-2 lock - so when you put the shifter in 1-2 position the trans will not shifts into 2.

Re: AW4 shift kit
Do either of you know the difference between the two kits TransGo offers? It would be great if you could keep it from shifting into OD on the dyno.

It won't even up shift to 2 at red line? How did your transmission behave previously in 1-2?indian wrote:The best thing is the 1-2 lock - so when you put the shifter in 1-2 position the trans will not shifts into 2.

Re: AW4 shift kit
no, it will stay in 1 full "locked" so when you release the throttle the engine will brake the carSilverXJ wrote:It won't even up shift to 2 at red line?

previosly it has shifted to second gear. I really did not like it in a very steep uphill ride.
