Little update everyone, ordered the new solenoid pack for my transmission so i can get rid of this crappy shifting. Will update when it comes in!

 

[MCD04EB]

My new solenoid pack came today.
part number

and the actual pack

Not sure when i'm going to do the swap, hopefully in the next couple weeks.

Another person replacing those : I just replaced mine, it solves a lot of problems, but I still get the 2-3 flare. Good luck on that fix

 

[MCD04EB]

thanks! yeah I'm hoping it solves a lot of problems. you still have the 2-3 flares??

 

[NHarris]

Yeah I still have the 2-3 flare. I usually just adjust my lead foot so it doesn't flare. Some people say it solves the flare, some people say it doesn't solve it.

 

[MCD04EB]

Oh okay, yeah currently i just let off the gas and push again and it stops, we'll see when I get the new one in!

 

[vinnyodee]

look what was waiting for me when i got home today!

thanks to BTF for these great spacers! next week will be the install and i will keep you all posted!

How much did these cost you? and what website did you get them from?

 

[MCD04EB]

Hey Vinny, the spacers cost me $250 with shipping, Brandon at BTF-fab makes them. www.btf-fab.com give him a call and you can talk to him about ordering a set!

 

[vinnyodee]

were they hard to put on? and does it put a lot of stress on the ball joints?

 

[MCD04EB]

Not too hard to put on, in the 3rd gen section they have a thread that shows how exactly to do it. Yeah it does put some stress on the balljoints, a lot of people replaces theirs when they install the lift and they should last for a while if new

 

[MCD04EB]

Replaced the solenoid pack and it seems to have helped! this week i will really get to see if it works drivin it to class

 

[NHarris]

Good to hear! Do you notice if you still have the 2-3 shift flare?

 

[MCD04EB]

Yeah! and actually no, there isn't any flares at all. This made a world of difference, feels like a brand new tranny.

 

[MCD04EB]

Hopefully installing it saturday.,..

Hows the Magnaflow sound?

 

[MCD04EB]

Sorry for not replying until now, been busy working and out of town. I'm going over to my friends house tomorrow morning to get this muffler welded up. will make some videos in car and report back tomorrow after im home!

 

[MCD04EB]

Okay, went to install the magnaflow and had the stock muffler pulled so we started it up just for laughs. honestly though with the 3rd cat it wasn't at all loud. put in some piping, and it sounds very good. will post a vid shortly

 

[MCD04EB]

You will have to turn your volume up to hear it. this is just regular driving with the windows up

 

[MCD04EB]

Ordered 2" hub centric wheel spacers today! should be here by saturday!
