Thread: Fixing 4th

The shift kit is very easy to install even when the transmission is in the car. It's basically just a spacer that you put in the accumulator.

I throw a shift kit in it while i had it all apart anyway. It's pretty simple and only takes about 15 more min than a pan drop.

the trans in my car is a used trans, it has the hardened 4 th gear and a shift kit. trans has about 130,000 on it or so.

when driving around normal you don't even know its there, but in perf shift mode, it shifts like a bear. the rest of my car is all stock.

8 quarts or so i'd say. Maybe a little more.

I like to have some extra M6 x 1.00 thread about 80mm long bolts hanging around. If you did..say have 4 of them with the heads cut off it would make this easier because after it's apart, you can use them to hold the gaskets in place and guide the vb/channel plate back onto the properly place. Makes it much easier.

Expect 10 or so quarts. Totally dry our transmission will take 13 quarts. Doing a typical pan drop you'll only lose about 7.5 quarts. If you have it open etc like you will for doing this.. expect 10 quarts.

I'd do a shift kit while in there. It's a nice addition to help a trans live longer.
