If you don't even know what it is, how do you know you want it?

because all the cool kids have it...

in all seriousness, if this car is your daily driver, I'd think twice about getting it if you don't track your car.

Telling the guy if he is not going to "TRACK IT" that is basicly aint worth doing is pure silly. It is simply the best mod one can do for there auto Max regardless of track use or not if you have a Auto Max & want stick like performance , more reliablity, Less wear & tear on your tranny & just pure fun. Stage 2 VB mod is the only way to go...Yes I have this Mod so I speak from experience.

it makes the tranny shift quicker, stage 2 is perfect for everyday driving plus makes your tranny stronger and last longer dont forget to get the tranny cooler installed also i think it ran about a little under $500 with stage 2 installed and also tranny cooler insatlled more like $450.

P0745 Line Solenoid SES lamp on dash = Annoying

Find that code on too many .org members who bring their cars to our dealership.

so the shifts are more positive, right? stage 2 as you refer to it is the street/strip? did you also get a tranny cooler?

i had the stage 2 put in this summer, Def the best mod i have done so far. no hesitation between shifts. and my car is an everyday driver. so i would say def do it, and like others said wile ur there get the tranny cooler. they often do specials, like 350 installed for the VB, so i would call them and see when they are.

Because I live on left coast, I was looking for someone close to do this for me. I called maximumtuning and they were very nice. Basically, $400 for the VB plus shipping to ship the core back plus someone to uninstall/install on my end, plus the tranny cooler. Long story short, I found a local tranny shop to install a Trans-go kit in my tranny plus a tranny cooler for $725 and a warranty (they couldn't warranty the VB from Maximumtuning). I am very happy with it, shifts a fast but not harsh, and the tranny will last longer. Great mod - I shoulda done it sooner. I say 'go for it'.
