Whats up guys, i just purchased a 2002 gle maxima, automatic. and i must say im very happy with its performance. However, i would like to preserve the life of my car, specifically the tranny. Im in CT..where can i purchase the VB Mod and Tranny cooler for cheap. I have searched the net for these but only get results pertaining to other vehicles. Also, where can i find a DIY for this..Dont start flaming about reading the stickies or anything, because i have attempted to find it up here, but im still waiting for my forum search privelage to kick in.

Thanks in advance guys, i appreciate it.

ok i checked out the website, but did not find the VB listed, nor did it read the part # for the tranny cooler..does anyone know where i can find a write up, particularly for the 5.5 gens?

 

Get a Haynes, or read Lontar1's tranny drain/fill write-up..

Helped me.

Maximum tuning did mine. (VB)

 

if your willing to come to NY you can get the vb mod done at jeff's maximum tuning shop in glen cove, he does them all the time

 

cool what does he usually charge for them? and whats the exact address of his shop?

 

www.maximumtuning.net

 

I'm in CT also. I was curious how you made out with this dude in NY, ( how much... how long he would have it...)

 

Click on the link, it's not that hard....All the information you need.

I recomend you go to Jeff thats NYC expert I had mine done with him my 4th gen was chirpping going into second gear jeff is the best prices are reasonable & more importantly he knows Maximas

 

I may be purchasing a 2k with a VB installed. I dont like how hard the tranny shifts. Does this wear the tranny any more than a regular VB? How difficult is it to swap back to stock?

 

NO WAY! Dude read the write ups it make ur tranny shift the way its suppose to its better for your tranny PROLONGS THE LIFE

 

we did a group deal with jeff for 450 like in 4/05 reg price was 550 w/ install& tranny cooler it only took him like 1 hr 30 min bullsh!tin with me I was his last customer OH and his customer service/ warranty great too

 

I understand, but I still want to sell the damn thing haha

 

Need more info on 5.0 mod...Can't find any links to details or pics.

 

is 5.0 mod...

 

I ment 5.0 gen since the original thread is for a 5.5gen

If theres a good post on the VB and cooler I think it would be a good sticky.

 

The process is the same as it would be for the 5g as it is for the 5.5g.

Only difference in the trannys is the gated shifter, all ratios are the same.

 

I have heard this a bunch of times, but still don't know what it is. What is the VB mod and what is it for?

 

Are you fucking kidding me

 

Just curious, but is this the same company that made the original 2k2/2k3 classic front lip?

The VB mod in short causes the transmission to shift harder, which in turn slips the clutches less and puts power to the wheels faster...basically allows the transmission to handle more power and get the car moving faster.

 

Nope, that was/is maxtuning IIRC.

 

Any shop recommendations in the NW area for VB mod?

 

I don't know, I don't live in the NW area.

 

That's cool. Can someone explain to me the differences between a custom VB mod and a bolt on shift kit such as the Transgo RE4FO4B PSK for our max? Also, is a Transmission Cooler must-have with a VB mod?

 

I don't have one.

 

sorry for the bump but can someone please answer his question? I wanna know too
