B&M shift plus

[the_weber]

installed it today, black to the light blue/whit stripe wire, red to the red with black stripe. Defninitly worked, incresed my 0-60 by 3 seconds, and I was on wet pavement this time. Granted I have a WAI on it now to. But after I put it on now it sounds a little rough, almost like a beater. any idea whats causing it?

so your running a 3.6 0-60? you do realize thats around a 12 second 1/4? AAAANNNNDDD vettes and ferraris arent much faster than that.

so no, your not

:lol: intakes add maybe 2-3 hp big woop. take it to a track then you'll see the real 0-60 and 1/4 and all that garbage instead of guessing.

By the way, shift kits put more strain on your car so if you're going to be using it daily you're gonna be realizing the affects on the car / your wallet soon.

So it made you go slower? :ohmy:

No he said it INCREASED his 0-60 times. lol.

Also, im not sure how bad these things are for your tranny. Supposedly stage one is mild but stage two is like extreme and forces the line pressure to max. Anybody know how hard these really are?

nice catch lol, thats what I get for skimming

[Philbar71]

But does anybody know if these things damage your transmission?

[Cliff8928]

It shouldn't do any damage. Basically it's just a resistor on the force motor to lower voltage to it as far as I know.

[03Sleepr]

if your transmission is in good shape(no slipping) then not usually, it increases shift firmness, meaning less slip and prolonged trans life.

[Oldsman]

WOW..............Really.............Really........ .........Really........

[heineck]

dude that things made to at best shave 1/10th of a second on a 1320 u gots the placebo efect

[the_weber]

Using a timer went from 10 seconds to 7 seconds. The reason it is such a huge jump is my tranny slips real bad, if you remember my first post here, and this completley eliminated that.

[Gr1m]

sounds like a bandaid for a problem that will get worse with time imo.

[the_weber]

it is. I just dont wanna buy a tranny until i HAVE too haha

[heineck]

then when it goes... 5 spd swap!!

[the_weber]

Thats what I want to do but no one on here could tell me how to do it.

[colonel6632]

5 speed ftw!

[heineck]

i hate u colonel.............. j/k

:haha: :awesome:

[the_weber]

I still want to know why my engine makes a wierd noise when its on. When its off it goes away.

[JLw7123]

well the engine is off so there are no noises to make.

[sleepyalero]

well the engine is off so there are no noises to make.

I think he's talking about the shift plus is on the engine makes a noise, and when the shift plus is off there is no noise.

[the_weber]

well the engine is off so there are no noises to make.

[JLw7123]

well what kind of noise does it make when it is plugged in.

[the_weber]

lol no offesne but it had to be done :p

almost like a grinding noise, soft though, not like screeching or nothing

[JLw7123]

does it happen when it up shifts or down shifts or both. also i am thinking that it might be ur tranny making the noise.

[the_weber]

maybe it is the tranny, it happens in idle, I dont know if it happens while I am actually moving because i don't hear it.

[03Sleepr]

if your trans was slipping badly then its usually bad to increase the line pressure (what shiftplus does) because it puts extra strain on trans parts and often smokes it faster..the grinding is probably your transmission on its way out.

NOT SAYING THIS IS 100% TRUE!

[Philbar71]

maybe it is the tranny, it happens in idle, I dont know if it happens while I am actually moving because i don't hear it.

Its the transmission pump, When my tranny went in to limp mode temporarily (wouldn't shift out of second, and shifted with max line pressure) it made a whining/grinding noise.

[the_weber]

it only slips at high RPMs like 6500. and it only happens when the shift plus is on. you sure that would be the pump?

[Redog]

No doubt the shift kit added 3 seconds to your to your 0-60 time. Sounds more like the "butt-dyno" (no big deal, we all felt that way when we were just starting out in the modding area) but I also have no doubt the kit did not help you out a little bit.

Shifting harder will cause less wear to the clutches, so althought they feel like you might be hurting something, you're actually not.

I was talking about the noise at idle. Im not sure about the slipping at redline?

[the_weber]

Well it only makes that noise at idle. and red dog we timed it again and again. Now that it shifts when its supposed to its much quicker. acceleration hasnt changed or anything just now it doesnt redline

[alero_bmxer]

mine makes a noise too. im assuming there is a pump inside the trans and its spinning faster for increased pressure? (i could be totally wrong im no where near a trans expert)

[the_weber]

so it might be just nothing then?

[widbyj]

I would suspect the fluid pump inside the trans also. Mine has started to make more noise, similar to a Ford power steering pump, also in the last few months. The noises started to be noticeable about the same time as I was finally able to get the engine to run properly in closed-loop mode, it probably started to actually use the ECM tuning rather than the defaults (harder/faster shifts). There are also some internal parts in these trannies that GM upgraded from plastic to aluminum over the years, service notes indicate that the plastic pistons would crack and leak fluid (noises) while still functioning fairly well. Newer trannies already have the better parts installed so if you are going to swap one through a junkyard try to find the most recent one they have... I suggest checking/changing the fluid and filter to get an idea of whether any real damage is happening. Adding a trans cooler and gauges to monitor heat and pressure might help you keep it happy longer also. Oh, stay away from the redline also, power peaks well below that point.

[Oldsman]

the noise IS the pump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no worries, drive and enjoy

Since you put it that way... I just orderd mine! Should be here thursday or friday along with springs :D
