Automatic Trans Shift Kit

Rather a new modification in the Altima world, this mod has lived on for decades through the domestic car world. This mod is to provide the home mechanic with the ability to perform a valve body upgrade without dumping $500+ on a whole upgraded valve body assembly. With the courage to complete its' task of installation, the benefits will ultimately be worth the effort. Faster shifts which result in a massively improved throttle response. Every shift feels seamless and without struggle. Life of transmission is ultimately increase, faster shifts=less friction=less heat=longer life. Improved Performance.

pros:
Faster shifts
increases life of trans
improved overall performance
throttle response

cons:
installation

please add my bit about ECU tuning and Jesus' bit about the tranny/throttle body spacer

[oliverc]

You mean the shift kit upgrade right, plus Jesus already did the write up on the tb spacer.

Why would you not want to use the safc on top of the jwt ecu? I would think you could gain a bit with the fine tuning of the safc. The jwt tune has to be slightly conservative.

JWT and the SAFC do not work together nicely. At least, thats what I found in my research

[aperumal]

F1: Can you provide a comparison between the SAFC II and the NEO?

Iceman00,
Very nice informative write up. Thanks for taking the time doing this....

hey you guys forgot Motor mount inserts. I think some company called racingline makes them

[Red Lion]

^lol i think they're waiting for me to add those to a "Suspension Upgrade" guide. Lol, I'll think about writing one; if I got, say, 10pms saying make one I'll do a write up this week, but I am pretty busy

[Jesus]

don't worry about it red,

i don't see a rush for this writeup,
Even with the complete and thorough one, people will still ask the same ol questions.

:P

but they do reveal certain mods that only some people might know of.

[chinabean]

dude..that's freaking hot.

i don't know how to do the thanks thingy like everyone else under your post though.

damn...faq answer to pretty errr thang

[Iceman00]

I'll try to add, and update what you guys have given me. So give me some time. Yes Taz, MMI will be added. But the endlinks are Red's territory...

[F1Altima]

Hmm theres also the worst bang for the buck... a light weight flywheel, but it makes driving quicker

[BoostRevolution]

how is a flywheel the worst bang for the buck???
