Re: vb mod
VB mod is another name for "shift kit". All it does is make the shifts firmer and more noticable. I bark the tires every time I shift into 2nd while I'm agressive on the throttle. So, it's BY Far worth it to me.
www.maximumtuning.net in LI, NY does the mod for your tranny. This is the ONLY company I would trust with my VB.

Again, I would ONLY trust Maximum Tuning with my VB. If you contact a local tranny shop, they will be like... "oh yeah, I can make your shifts firmer". They will remove your VB and drill some freakin holes in it to allow more fluid through and do some other stuff that is only done with domestic trannies. You get your car back, every gear will be banging into place and then boom. A VB is nothing to mess with.
ONLY trust Maximum Tuning or maybe Level 10.

If you do it yourself, then you will remove your VB yourself, pack it, ship it, ... overnight.... then they get it, unpack it, modify it, then ship it back,... overnight... then a few days later at the soonest, you will be up and running. At the latest... it could take 6 months like it did me. FYI, do not even think about going with MobileTek aka "Don in Texas". He will give you the shaft like he's done to many people up here. Plus, he doesn't know how to modify any VB except for the VB in the RE4F04A tranny in the 4th gen auto.

Yeap. Call ahead and see if he has any extra valve bodies he can swap in your car. If not, it will take up to 3 hours cause he has to modify your existing VB. www.maximumtuning.net

To the guys who have this mod, what stage are you sporting (there are three), and how does each stage behave? Also, how has this positively or negatively impacted your tranny wealth-being, and were there any other side effects resulting from the recalibration?

Aaron, what stage do you have, and was there ANY side effect from having this upgrade? I've read the old posts, that's why I waited for a thread like this to pop up to check on the status of the VB modded cars. Sometimes the symptoms take time to show up. It's not a small thing for me to be without a car for 4-5 days, I need reinforced insurance that this mod is as reliable as it gets.

Call Jeff at Maximum Tuning. He's a great guy and will help you out. I think they are doing a sale right now for around $325.
Oh yeah, almost forgot, I have the middle stage.... 2. It's the streetable version that's not FULL track. Unless you're planning on pushing 500fwhp and having your Maxima as a trailor car, then you don't need Stage 3. Stage 1, is just what the site says, not really for performance. It's more like a Transgo shift kit.
But stage two, I'm barking 1-2 shift all over town with my AWESOME Yoko AVS ES100 17" tires. My last tires... geez, you don't want to know how bad I would bark my tires.
2-3 shift is, OH SO very quick.You have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to worry about if you call Maximum Tuning. BTW, you're asking the right guy about a VB mod on a 3rd gen.
Have fun!

Thank you very much aaron, that's about what I wanted to know. I basically needed first hand experience opinion in regard to the behavior and long-term reliability of a stage. I don't trust anything a website puts up for sales pitches.
