I *think* there are lots of 3rd gens in the NYC area. You guys always have big meets and stuff. I really want to add the trans go kit to my auto but I don't trust any of the local guys. PLUS for 36 bucks this thing is to cheap to pass up. I CAN'T afford 400(don's) on a college kids budget.

SSOOOOOOOOOO. I think lots of you guys would be interested.

Namely ME, DanNY, Da-Max, otheres..etc...

I'm in Buffalo but plan on comming to a big NYC meet this spring. Maybe us 3rd geners should meet at the asscrack® of dawn and install those bad boys

 

if enough of us upper east coast guys can get it and you NY guys can get a reputible shop or an experienced person to do installs, I'd take a day off and shoot up there from MD! keep us posted.......

 

I got the transgo kit installed on my 88 max! It works really good, tightened all the shifts and made the car faster. Definite improvement!

 

well here's a problem...
in NYC area there's a lot of grease monkeys out there waiting for you to give them your $$. IMO that's not too kosher. once i know someone does the kit then i'll give it a try and do it myself. it's not the $36 bucks but it's more of the actual labor of putting that kit in. maybe i'll order the kit and look at the instructions. if it looks simple enough then i'm a go on it. maybe i should go find a VB from another car and practice on that first...anyone know where i can get a VB? i know the junkyards won't tear up a tranny because of the VB...so anywhere else?

 

i'm down for getting this kit installed as well...but like danNy said...practice first...

dan...im making a junkyard run over the weekend...the ones i got to usually have the cars on blocks with motor and trans in them...if i can find one thats decent i'll rip the tranny out or just the vb....

 

chris read my other post 'automatic shift kits'. i got a friend whos really into drag racing and said he'd install a kit for me for free. i dont know when we are going to do this install, but i'll post some pics and instructions on my webpage as soon as i do it and i'll post in here about it. this kid actually chose an automatic over a stick and put a shift kit in and he said it works better for drag racing. so, its definitly a mod worth the money.

 

a 5spd is probably still going to be quicker....the only reason an auto would be "better" for drag racing is consistency...you really can't f*ck up much with an auto...with a 5spd you have to worry about the launch and not missing shifts on the way down the track...

 

if you all live in Atlanta. To help you guys out. Try pull-a-parts Junkyard. They also have cars on wheels on wheels so its easier to get under and higher off the ground. Just to help yall out.

 

I wanna order this kit and see what the deal is with it. for $36 bucks ill take a chance! thanks

 

exactly the type of junkyard i was talking about...U-Pull-its are the best....car already in the air and you have the power to remove whatever you want as long as you can carry it out

 

good idea..the only problem is that i believe the VB is on TOP of the tranny. there's no pan or anything at the bottom part of the tranny. it's like a regular auto but unside down. so the higher it is then harder it's for u to get to.

chris if u can get the VB for me that would be great. let me know the cost and etc. thanks!
maybe i'll do a VB mod service???

 

haha....i'll see what i can do dan...last time a made a run to these 5 yards there weren't any 3rd gens....im gonna make some calls first to see what i can come up with...i have a friend at one so i may be able to have him pull the tranny for me

 

Alright people..I'm confused..what'ts this kit all of ya are talking about and what does it do for the car for 36 bucks???

 

Does anyone have info on where to buy the kit?

 

Trans-Go info

 

Yo..that looks pretty good..any of ya know where i can get it then?
