I'm very happy with my Stage 2 Shift kit :yeah: , my own concern is the extra strain on the rest of the driveline and how hot the trans fluid is potentially getting to. I am looking at installing a transmission oil temperature gauge, but I need more info on how to wire one up.

Is that Hydraulic or Electronic ?

I guessing that's no boost valve, corvette piston or modified separation plate.

Its al electronic G/B but it was all mechanical. take out valve body etc.. drilled some holes, inserted solid collars inplace of the springs witch give it the rock hard shifts... go to autobahn there in there might have to order it tho

I Got an electronic Shift Kit Which comparing it to my mates vt he got a gear box hardware shiftkit and i find no differents, the only problem with the eletronic one i have is if you use the gear lever to go down to lower gears manualy, it sometimes can clunk the tail shaft, which to get a new one all new and balanced is a lot of money, so if you get a shiftkit (electronic) Dont use engine breaking. Cheers
