VB Recalibration

cant wait for the final finish on this.

Nope, just take it easy for a week (actually a few days, but go with a week if you want to play it safe).

Stains on the floor suck.

Dario, did you see the flame threads in the general discussion forum? Some guys have sent money and their VBs to Mobiletek and haven't heard back from him or it took months for him to reply. If you send you VB to him, are you concerned you won't get it returned anytime soon?

Dario or anyone, I have a question

Does the transmission pan have a gasket or need silicone to put it back? What about a filter? I heard our trannys have no filter or don't need to replace the filter, but I am not sure. Thanks.

we are taking a VB out of my car and out of another maxima and putting the recalibrated VB in my car.

Friedn of mine is returning his Maxima to stock and getting rid of it.

Tanman - i have had constant contact with Don and i have no worries about it. i have already sent the VB to him and he is expecting it. Should get it back on Friday to be put back into my car. So far so good and great service i have no complaints. thanks for the concern.

Menacer - our trannies actually have like a screen i saw in the VB when i removed it from the car.

graymax02 - removal took about 2 hours because we constantly took breaks

If you have the tracking number, give them a call and see if the package is arriving on time (it won't if the shipping address is incorrect).

FedEx screwed DAVEB and I on the passenger side LSD axle.

IF you are paranoid, a new crush ring gasket for your drain plug.

Sealant not needed (that's for the engine oil pan).
