Just got it done today at Jeffs shop. Maximum tuning in Glen Cove NY. I have to say it was awesome service. In and out in less than 2 hours. First impressions....1-2 shift can be hard as hell depending how you use the throttle. Go easy and it isnt bad....get on it hard and it isnt bad...half throttle and it will shift hard. The rest of the shifts are mint. No delay whatsoever and it feels like it helps out the hesitation when you dont completely stop for a stop sign. Only one question i had was 4th gear(OD) wasnt supposed to be changed yet i feel my car going into OD almost as much as the 1-2 shift at times. Just wondering if anyone else felt this. I have the new version of his VB which i thought was supposed to increase the 1-2 and 2-3 but i dont remember hear about 3-4(od). Maybe the new solenoids need time to break in...I dont really know. Either way it shifts nice and fast. Well worth the money.

 

i believe you mean from 4-3 on OD...Overdrive ON is the normal driving scenario where u have your 4th gear available, overdrive OFF means downshifiting from 4th to 3rd (shutting off 4th gear), hence higher RPM jump in seconds...from wut i see, it is a faster downshift with the VB mod than without, but i dunno if das just in my head
well glad to hear u like the VB, have fun...after a while u'll only like if you're going WOT and can chirp second

 

it definatly downshifts faster from what i can feel. Well basically and easier way to put it is if your in 3rd gear with OD off and you turn it on to go into OD you can sometimes really feel it go into gear where as before i never felt when it went into OD. I always drive with OD but i thought that might have been an easier way to describe it

 

any chance a aftermarket set of tranny mounts can solve the rough 1-2 shift? I dont think any exist but it would be nice.

 

Hey 97MaximaSE......Good to hear that you like your new mod. I was the one w/ the black max

 

hey whats up? did you ever get your exaust done? if you did how does it sound. i was thinking of the same one. the vb mod is great. the more i drive it the more i like it. I was leaving Dunkin Donuts on sunday and ended up spinning through 2 gears. crazy

 

man....i think this is gona have to be one of my next mods... chirp in second with an auto? haha i thought that was only gona happen when my max was still a virgin

 

yeah not too bad for a car with 129k miles on it now....of course i still wanna know if anyone ever experiences a somewhat hard 3-4 shift at times. It doesnt happen all the time but every once in a while i feel it. Just wondering if it was normal but no one seems to know. Thanks

 

Hey 97MaximaSE,

The OBX catback has nice deep tone to it and is not loud w/ the resonator on. With the resonator off is another story. It is way too loud for my taste. Overall, I am very satisfied w/ it. Take care.

 

i wish i stayed to check out what it looks like but i needed to get home and take a nap. Whats with the damn 4 dollar toll at each end of that bridge. The road sucks where does the money go?

 

Trying paying 6 dollars at the GW bridge. Anyway, let meknow when the next meet you guys have ..maybe ill come up..Lata

 

Does anyone else with this mod feel that when the car warms up to operating temp the shifts are noticeably harder then when cold?
