i just posted this in my other thread but its very important.
while trying to perform the performance shift mod:

the freakin car just died on me. after redoing the wiring like you said shoebox (wire switch to blue ''H" wire on white connector) the mod still doesnt work, so i quit for a minute to think about what i could be doing wrong, and about an hour later my friend comes down here and asks me to take him to work. on the way there the battery charge was in the low orange, and the ABS INOP light came on along with the check guages (very dim). so after i drop him off and i pull out of the parking lot i have to rev extremely high just to get the car going then it goes. its like im driving a stick and riding the clutch then coming off very slowly. so i make it home then i undo the negative on the battery (just like i do everytime i attempted to do this ****) and undo all the wiring and switch i was using to see if everything would return to normal. then i hook the (-) back up and try to crank the SOB and i wont even try to turn over, it aint even crankin! WTF have i done, i just wanted to get the extra ''umph'' out of my tranny, and now the whole dam car says f*** me? PLEASE HELP

 

#1 if you followed Shoebox's instructions correctly you wouldnt be in this posisition and you also know that shift mod does absolutly positivly nothing for your WOT Shifts? its not worth the time
Put it back exactly how it was before you started and disconnect the battery and let it set for like 15 minutes

 

I would say it is worth your time if done correctly. It only took me about 30 minutes to complete. It is true that it doesn't affect WOT shifts, but part throttle shifts feel twice as fast and twice as hard. A 4000+ RPM shift from 1st to 2nd will about break your neck lol.

well guys i figured it out, and yes its gonna cost me. after my car had its "temper tantrom" this morning i decided to take the battery up to murrays to get it tested and see if it could be charged and what do ya know, its dead as a doorknob! so i buy an optima red top (i wanted one anyway) and get home put it in and observe the guage and its still shows a charge in the orange. so i figure maybe i just need to drive it around for a minute, but nothin changes. so i go back to murrays and get an on-car test done and BAM the machine says, "Devin your not gonna be modding this m/f no more any time soon b/c you need a new alternator." so i go home and pull it off, and get a ride back up there so they can test it inside (just to be sure shes bit the dust), and yep it failed . so i special order new one and await its arrival tomorrow........all b/c i started f****** wit the electrical stuff (that i dont know **** about) trying to cheat on a freakin shift kit. if i wasnt so cheap i woulda/shoulda/coulda bought a transgo unit and had the real deal (and prolly better too) but now im coming out of dam near $300 on a battery and alternator that i didnt even need (yet), and the freakin mod still didnt work! oh well i just needed to tell someone my story ("This is the diary of Devin Williams" ), i have faith that all will work out in the end . hope you guys have better luck with this mod in the future...im gonna save my pennies and buy a transgo.
