    I saw that... not sure if it addresses the spring in question. The "updated" PDF shows and instructs you to remove it, but I need to find put from Tommy what the deal is and how the spring affects performance. To me Steve's shifts perfectly. But, some may be expecting a little firmer shifting. Perhaps the spring addresses this...

    I think that without the spring it shifts firmer.

    That's the assumption but I'd like to know for sure. Taking the VB out is a PITA and the tranny fluid is way too expensive to guess... Hopefully we can get an answer from Transgo.

    I think I'm going to have the spring taken out. After talking to KHA, I think it would shift harder without the spring. I doubt it can shift any faster then mine does now, but the once or twice I got the very aggressive shift, is probably what it is like without the spring all the time. My shifts are seamless now, but, we will probably take it back out. Randy said he could do it no problem.

    IMHO, we need to do a little more research my friend. Shifting harder isn't necessarily a good thing. While the "chirping" may sound cool it's also taking it's toll on your drive train. Sacrificing longevity and driveability for a slightly quicker shift isn't gonna cut it for me. If removing the spring increases the line pressure to the point that it will "chirp" on the 1-2 shift all the time with 1/2 throttle or more, say bye, bye to the stock tranny and you'd better have AAA on speed dial.

    We need to call Transgo and find out what that spring does...

    It's my understanding that this kit was tested and designed on a 350z not a Titan, so all the input data was from a vehicle with less power that's a lot lighter than our trucks...

    I agree that the shifting in your truck is very quick and smooth as it is. So why risk it? I know you have an extended warranty but it can be a hugh PITA to file a claim. Plus with your truck having so many mods there is always the chance it gets denied...

    Perhaps I'm over thinking this or being too cautious... I just don't want this mod to turn out to be cause for headache down the road.

    Maybe we can have Randy remove the spring on Carl's T this weekend and go from there?

    Well, the directions do say to remove it....but I don't even know what it does...."Input clutch spring"

    just because ur line pressure goes up and ur tires chirping doesnt necessarily mean ur transmission will get fried because of it. everytime i take my truck out for a spin i try her out and the tranny is still holding up 100%
