Taking my tranny pan off as we speak. Can't wait to rerace my buddy's M3 again. This time I should pull him further before my speed cut off kicks in :)

i did my trans flush and here is a pic of the switch.the picture is after i turned it. what you do is use a flat head and push it in then turn to the right. btw keep an eye on the metal tab as it will come out when you turn it. this actually worked very well and it uses less gas go figure. |
how much do you turn it ?
|
push in, turn twice clockwise. Do you see the three grove held by the metal tab? That's it.
|
2 full revs? or just 2 clicks?

Just got done doing it and will post up a video as soon as i get tranny fluids in there. It was an easy job but a headache from laying on the ground to do the work.
Sorry for the crappy pics from my blackberry. This is what i saw when i did it for the first time. http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/845...1110071359.jpg drained the fluids, 14mm socket http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/980...1110071403.jpg Took of all the 10mm bolts holding the tranny pan up, forgot to count how many was there. With the tranny pan off, it sit where the white arrow is pointing http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/1761/...1110071428.jpg This is what it looked like. i used a short flat to turn it two clicks. Push it in and turning it was easy. http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/675...1110071430.jpg How it looks like after http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/4...1110071434.jpg There it is all done:thumbup: http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/843...1110071435.jpg I just cleaned and scraped all the old gasket maker off and used gasket maker to reseal the pan and slapped it back on. Excited to see the results. Thanks to GammaLex for bringing this upon us. looks like it'll be a very promising mod to our slow granny shifts :woot: |
very nice man! looks SUPER easy.
question: why not use a rubber gasket from your local parts store made for the GS400s? something like this http://www.partsgeek.com/assets/dima...87-1046092.jpg |
Bravo! !!!!!!!! Btw, did you replace the tyranny oil? Might as well.

Oh well, tranny blew up because of something but i'll have to check tomorrow to see what happened. j/k :) it felt like it did shift faster going full throttle compared to before but i'll have to see when i race my bud's M3 again. when we raced he would gain on me everytime i shifted gears, due to the slow shifts. Seems like the shifts are also smoother like it didnt shift gears at all. pretty cool i say. Oh btw remember to unplug your battery before you do this as i got a CEL after this and had to reset it cause i forgot to do it |
