i wouldnt do it, a rebuild costs 1500+, but if your going to anyway at least get a tranny cooler.
good luck

hayden tranny cooler >> https://maxima.org/shoptalk/sub_modi...er/index.shtml
u can get hayden tranny cooler from local autoshop... not too hard to install. basically zip-tie the tranny cooler on the radiator and re-route your tranny cooler hoses into hayden's.

My purpose is more to save the trans than to get gains but it does that too. Without it the trans is really slow shifting when you run higher power ie 300 HP or so. Without the mod the wear on the clutches is much more severe.

DO NOT use at part throttle, this is a WOT mod only.

yeah, ive read the part about using it only at WOT. but what kinda of gains can i expect to get out of a 96 auto? and to hook it up to a manual switch in my cabin, does it matter which wire i cut and put onto the switch? JIME, if you could explain how to hook a manual switch in a little more detail, id appreciate it...thanks

i read the instructions a million times. with the switch i have, do i just hook the wire with no stripe up to the power, and the wire with the stripe up to the ground, and leave the ACC part of the switch alone?

1. You should just be using a single pole switch with only two connectors.
2. However if you want to use that lighted one, forget about the ground, that is just there to make the circuit to ground to make the light come on. You cannot do that in this case because you are not working with 12v like you do in most auto switch setups.
3. Just hook one wire to ACC and the other to power.
4. I dont understand your stripe and no stripe question. You should have cut just one of the wires going to the drop resistor and then connected one wire to each end and run them to the switch. Doesn't matter which end you hook where.

There are two wires going to the DR.
Cut one of them, you now have two ends.
Connect a wire to each end and run them to the switch.
Thats it.

Also, anyone know how to do this on a 2003 Honda Accord with 5-speed automatic?

At part throttle with full line pressure you are using way less HP and the transmission shifts much much faster than at WOT so its almost like an instant BANG. I wasn't suggesting it increases wear at part throttle it is just waaaay to harsh and would probably lead to breaking something because of the severity.
BTW I do not know of any other manufacturer that uses the drop resistor setup, but there may be. I would be interested to know as well.

i just got done with the DR mod, and you're right, its not a super jerk where my car squeals into second, it just jerks and feels A LITTLE faster. i dont know, easy enough to try and see if it worked. thanks for all the help with it
