B&M Shift Improver

[SSR]

Today I installed B&M's shift improver kit (part # 70383). What a waste of my time, there was NO noticeabel difference. Essentially the kit contains, a T fitting, some vacum line, and a valve. All it does is allow air in the line before the vacum line to the trans, making the trans think it has less vacum than is really present. For $50, I could punch a hole in the vacum line myself. Anyone else ever try this product?

ditto. the only thing is the module gets really warm. I'm gonna glue a cpu heatsink to each side to help keep it cool.

Yeah, the electronic version is great. It feels like its gonna break something it shifts so fast/hard on setting 2.

thats good to know, but this vacum version sucks a$$. Does anyone know if anyone makes an internal shift kit for the A4LD?

do any of you have the 302 engine? i want to put in the electronic kit but i thought it wouldnt fit a 98 explorer. for who it was with the 96 and the 302 what transmission number it it you have. i have the 4R70W so if you have the same transmission and used the electronic deal please let me know because i would really like to get it.
