IT WILL INCREASE LINE PRESSURE, BUT IT WILL NOT FIX THE 1ST TO 2ND SHIFT ON A FI CAR. YOU HAVE TO DO THE VALVEBODY TO FIX THAT. WE HAVE THE VALVEBODY MAPPED FOR THE GS400 SO IT WOULD BE NO PROBLEM. WE WOULD DO THE GS VB FOR $495 INSTALLED.

Its not that easy you have to either take or send them the VB in your car. They then modify/upgrade it and send it back. If I can swing it next week I'll do it. My car is supposed to go up on blocks wednesday but I can delay it untill the end of the week. If I can pull it together.

I know, I was just teasing.

I shoulda planned it better and since the car is gonna be down for a little bit at the body shop, this woulda been the perfect time to do it and I wouldn't even miss the car being down.

Oh well. You be my guinea pig and then I'll follow.

Well, you said you're a broke college student and if you keep doing this you'll be buying a new transmission at around $6K. Just a public service announcement for ya.
