24's help

**imdaman3** · 02-09-2010

the 24z make it shift late causing the hard shift to come on not so good to do

A shift kit may help with the harsh shift, but what you really need is a speedometer recalibration. Those tires are quite a bit larger diameter than what the transmission is programmed for. Also, the extra weight of the bigger wheels doesn't help much.

you dont want plastic shift kits. the plastic ones are what zzp putsout and are ****. you can make your own which are better then theirs.

and yea. the 24's are most likely a elephant siting on a ant for your car. dont think a shift kit would do anything for you.

i can sell you a used intense shift kit, out of my old trans for cheap, pm me if your interested.

i had my dude at morads reprogram the pcm all that done car only has 60,000 on it never beat on i just put the rims on and it started happening only drove car 60 - 100 miles and put it up for winter i think cuz the wheels are so heavy its causing a late shift causing it to go high pressure mode thinkin with a shft kit it will firm up the shifts a bit making it not do this and it takes like a hr. or 2hr. for the harsh shift to accure.

i can probably tell you that it wont make a lick of difference. youre going to need a built transmission to handle the load of those giant wheels. should have gone with 20s and lowered the car, not 24s and raised it.

**imdaman3** · 02-10-2010

(bio24) thats what my gtp and a gt 4 i have 20s on them and lowered loooks nice and clean just wanted to do sumthing different out here..

just didnt think id have a hard shift after i put um on

Weigh them... Versus stock rims, a little bit is a lot in this case.

Nobody is hatin yo. They are just saying that you should have thought about your trans before you dropped some D's.

**imdaman3** · 02-10-2010

this mite sound dumb but whats the differance between havinig 4 or 5 ppl in the versus big rims?? aint that hard on a trans too?? seriously im tryin too figure this out , i sold my dude my 2000 gtp with 24z on it at 90k i sold it with 140k now its got 190k and still no trans poblems and its been beat on hard im not thinkin the rims have much too do with it i read all these posts about this hard shift problem which is a commen problem in these cars and the fix is a shift kit.. just want other suggestions car sat for over a year before i put rims on sum ppl say the seals in the tranz coulda shrunk??

**Bio248** · 02-10-2010

rotating mass is worse than static mass. it also comes down to how you drive the car. if youre just driving around normally i bet you wouldnt notice the transmission losing is luster, but if youre trying to beat on it (WOT runs) then youll see it getting sloppy on shifts. the problem is that the transmission is losing in this battle and you need something to make up for it, which nothing besides a rebuild or a new transmission can solve. a shift kit will only delay the effects if not make it worse because of the harder shifts it creates.

**imdaman3** · 02-10-2010

bio248 i bought it from my mom shes 60yrs old never beat on she bought it new she rarely drove it i put the rims on and noticed the hard shift and changed the fluid and filter nuthin really in the pan either it just dont have a firm shift its soft not slipping either had it at the trans shop they couldnt tell me nuthin other then sum seals on acumilator or pistons might shrunk from sittin in the garage and tried sellin me a complete rebuild for 1300hundred i could see if it had more miles but 60k?? so i wanted too get a shift kit to replace them seals and hopefully firm up the shifts???
