Hey guys this tranny came out of a 5th gen ('02) infinity i35 that was sideswiped. The tranny was in no way damaged. The car was owned by a friend of mine but I bought the car from him and am parting it out because I plan on using the 3.5 in my 4th gen. The transmission that he had was completely worked and has the following….

-shift kit
-upgraded solenoids by TRANSWORLD by Charlie
-rebuilt by BAYRIDGE TRANSMISSIONS by Rick
http://www.bayridgetransmissions.com/
-VB mod (quicker shifts) performed by MAXIMUM TUNING by Jeff
http://www.maximumtuning.net/
-tranny was rebuilt and only has 20k on it.
-also was ran with a trans cooler which is def needed (about $50 from local parts store)





These go for $1200 on CAR-PART.COM just for regular used ones!! This is a great upgrade for you auto guys!!

looking for 800 picked up or + shipping

PM me for questions or anything else..

You friendly salesman.. : )

So............what's the difference between the 'shift kit' and the VB mod?

Also, it's Infiniti, not infinity.

 

1)Shift kits recalibrate an automatic's valvebody to shift at different points or to at least hold each gear longer, achieving a better powerband by revving out the engine at wide open throttle.

They also dramatically increase the life of the transmission by allowing much less wear due to gear overlapping.

2)VB Mod inceases the line pressure of fluid to make the shifts firmer and faster without the hesitation between shifting. The VB mod also increases the tranny fluid temp so a trans cooler is recommended. The great side of this mod is that believe it or not it actually lengthens the transmission life as well.

 

So, did your buddy pay one place to do this so called VB mod, and another place to do the shift kit? Because that is funny.

 

last i heard....i coulda sworn they were the same thing

 

Increased line pressure does not make the transmission run hotter. The only mod that adds heat to a transmission is a higher stall torque converter. Shift kits usually increase line pressure and also modify the valve body (I've installed several in TH350 tranmissions) so I am a bit confused why both were done. Last time I had a transmission built, the shop put in heavy duty clutch packs but said the shift firmness was through the valve body modifications they did and I wouldn't get any benefit from a shift kit since it would basically duplicate what they had done.

But yes, anytime you can reduce overlap and quicken shifts, your tranmission will last longer.

Do you have receipts for all the work done?

 

Modifying shift RPM has to be done @ the TCM.

 

both were done at maximum tuning out here near nyc. they are know for their work esp on maximas

 

ill call my buddy tomorrow and find out if he still has receipts. if no reciepts then ill get phone numbers

 

Lol ownage

That price is steep if you ask me.

 

lol this is the org. im supprised ppl arent lowballing me or asking me to trade random ****. if sumones seriously interested shoot me a PM and we'll work something out

 

I'm supposing this AT wouldn't work on an 01.. Hmm? Does it have VLSD?

 

shift kit = has to be installed inside the valve body, unscrewing lots and lots of screws
vb mod = the whole valve body already modded ready to replace the stock one

this is why shift kit costs so much less

so shift kit = vb mod in the sense that it does the same thing

at least from what I understand, please do correct me if im wrong though.

 

who was the original owner of this tranny?

 

i do believe you are correct, i remember reading sumwhere they were different but im not a tranny expert lol

by buddy anthony from staten island. he isnt on these forums

 

I'd have to see receipts that have can be verified to consider it.

 

ttt... contact info added. my buddy ant is not sure if he still has the receipts. the sites of the shops are in the first post. if interested in contacting these shops and questioning them on their work or anything else, PM me and i will give you more information to tell the shop. i dont want to put my buddys info on here w/o his consent

 

elllooooooooooo govnaaa

 

so would it be worth to have a VB mod done to a 2001 automatic?

 

The above still applied. Interested if the work done can be verified.

 

pm sent scott

 

bump to the top..im surprised this hasn't been sold yet....

 

still have tranny for sale? and if you do "sorry for noob question" will it bolt right up to a 4th gen with minor or no modifications?

 

its sold. sorry
