i threw an SES the 2nd time I started the car after unhooking the plug. And its still on after re-connecting the plug. Oh well... gotta install a switch.

 

thanks for the tip...

 

but if i unplugged the sensor?
will it cause any problem?? or is it dangerous to do so??! concern?!

 

i test drove it for 2 days about 200 miles and i didn't get the SES light.... but like most people said there is big thug going form 1-2nd but after i didn't feel the thug as much.....

Y2Kevse said it's actually better for the transmission but thug is going to hurt the mount....

hopefully some one will do a write up to attach a switch....

 

I did it!!! I want to put it on a switch ... Too much rush hour driving

 

The motor mounts from Cattman for the 4th Gen will work in the 5th Gen IIRC...

 

Ok for one the Drop Resistor mod is great. It will make your tranny last 4 times longer than leaving it plugged in. The reason for that Resistor is so you get a more soft and comfort shift. Our Transmission's are electronically controlled with shift solnoids. Now when you disconnect the resistor. You will get very harsh feeling going into first to second gear being that there is more line pressure. The reason, go right into gear, rather than slipping into gear. See its the slipping into gears that screws your tranny up, in the long run. Because slipping into gears will make your clutches in the tranny wear out quicker. You should also get a tranny cooler, which is about $40.00. This will keep the temp down in the tranny. Because if you increase the line pressure in your transmission, the fluid will get hot. Hot tranny fluid is bad. You can even wire a switch to your resistor. So you will only use it when you want. Yes it is proven to make my car 3 tenths quicker in the1/4 mile.

 

It may be good for the transmission, but i can only imagine what kind of damage it can give to other areas. Mounts come to mind.

 

Anyone do a write-up on how to install a switch and what kind of switch yet? If so post the link.

 

Oh yeah, what's a VB mod? Can you post a link for it?

 

Here is a link to Dons VB MOD.

It will explain how it is done and what are the benifits.

 

I unplugged it for the first time today. The shift from 1st to 2nd IS pretty stiff. The shift from Reverse to 1st is pretty healthy itself. It felt good when driving hard, but under normal driving it felt like I was running somebody over every time I went to 2nd. Need a switch to put where the steering wheel heater would be if I had one. I changed th color of my guage lights tonight, it's pretty cool. I'll take a pic and put it on .org when I get a chance.

 

ha ya it does feel like i'm runnin someone over under light acceleration - not that i know

 

Definitely!

 

Where is this sensor your talking about??? The pic's aren't showing up on my computer. Is there a write up on the resistor mod??

Thanks. Did you make a switch fot the resistor? Iv'e read the whole thread and know that with the switch it's either on or off,.

 

I actually plugged it back in only 10 minutes after taking it off. I didn't like it at all - it may be good for the transmission, but i can only guess what bad thing it can do to the mounts to say the least.

Sorry i can't be of more help

 

Thanks for the pic.

 

Mine is in a different place than the picture. Does anyone know where it is on an 03??? Thanks in advance.

 

Really? I'm surprised that's the case... what's in its place instead?

 

There is a long thin 1/4 inch square about 3-4 inches long connector. It doesn't look anything like the pic.

 

That could be it... maybe Nissan changed the connector type?

 

My thoughts exactly.... hmmmmmm.

 

If it was me i'd try it, but if they changed the connector type - there's also a chance it may not be the right one either.

It's up to you, to try it or not.

 

Still waiting for someone to make a switch so you can turn it on and off in the car and post instructions on how to do it. I'd try it but I don't have a clue about that kind of stuff.
