transmission mods vr commodore

Might be worth it to get one shipped from a better auto shop in a larger city, a fully built auto isn't all that fancy anymore.

yeah well transgo sell a reprogramming kit for the 4l60e transmission, so I'm starting to think that these guy's don't know what they are talking about. Why would they make the kit if it wasn't worth being installed??? Looks like I may have to go to sydney to get it done, anyone know anybody good there?

if you are going to spend that sort of money on your trans to improve performance you would be better off doing a manual conversion.

getting the transgo kit fitted next week at Aus trans service in parramatta, so guess I'll find out how it goes one way or the other.
Cheers guys

hey mate i have a transco stage 2 shiftkit fitted to my vr v6 and its great, when you get it fitted they reccomend to fit corvette srevo piston also.

when you refure to strenghening the best is to fit

Hardened input sharft
Steel clucth pistons(replaces alloy ones)
High performance 1-2 and 3-4 clutch pack
High energy band (not the widest cause it sofens off your shift)
High tensile foward and orver run clutch plates


this is what i had fitted to mine, cost was 1400 for strengthening and shiftkit was about 180 from autobarn
hope this helps
pm me if you want copy of my invoices to show your auto repairer
