Dean came round yesterday and we installed the unit in his ute.First off it definately works. It has a problem with auto's that have already been modded though. Dean has had his auto upgraded and when the switch was turned on it lost first gear. It definately changed harder though. You could select 1st in manual mode and when driving hard it was awesome. This would also help the ute guys in the wet as taking off in 2nd would assist with wet road traction.It will also be great for drag racing either on the track or street. you would launch with it off then when needing to change from 1st-2nd you would turn it on. This would give you 2nd almost instantly and you would still be in auto mode leaving the car to change 2-3 and 3-4 on its own.I think the top of the range variable one would be great for standard auto's and that the base model (on/off) would be great for the modded auto's. This is the way I will probably go.Geea.

xr0747 Member 36 Member For: 22y 2m 23d Posted 21/10/04 08:32 AM Posted 21/10/04 08:32 AM My auto has been upgraded through aps also, geea, so I guess I would have to go the on off switch setup. Did it improve the ute off the line? Would it have any gains or advantages over the 1/4 mile do you think?

I will then activate the unit via the toggle switch just before the car would change by itself.Throwing the switch gives an almost instant change into second with no where near the delay of manually changing, leaving the unit on will then allow the 2 - 3 shift to be firmer as well.Installation including fitting of switches should take about an hour and it goes into the factory loom quite neatly. I will get the car checked tomorrow to see if any auto fault codes have been generated.I will let you know how it goes.Dean
