But I know I’m gonna need a new clutch But it does suck to have a car that should run at least a half a second quicker than it is, and its something minor like a clutch holding ya back… oh wait you do know what thats like, right mr.13.4 🙂 ---

you can do a mod on the Maxima that will make the tranny shift so hard it will rip 2nd and chirp 3rd (or, uh, so ive heard…:embarassd). All you have to do is wire in a resistor… ---

> [@Black\_WS6](#): > > put drag skinnies on the front? The drop resistor mod disconnects the dropping resistor in the transmission control circuit. This forces the transmission to run a maximum line pressure. This makes the shifts VERY hard. ---

> [@Darkstar](#): > > The drop resistor mod disconnects the dropping resistor in the transmission control circuit. This forces the transmission to run a maximum line pressure. This makes the shifts VERY hard. does it engage the gear faster than normal? I assume this mod is hard on the tranny, but could be de-modded for warranty repairs? ---

> [@Black\_WS6](#): > > does it engage the gear faster than normal? I assume this mod is hard on the tranny, but could be de-modded for warranty repairs? actually… firmer the shift the easier it is on the tranny, due to less friction needed for the smoother shift although its always good to go with a tranny cooler when doing any type of shift kit, or shift firmness adjustment, due to the rapid gear changes ---

> [@Black\_WS6](#): > > does it engage the gear faster than normal? I assume this mod is hard on the tranny, but could be de-modded for warranty repairs? shifts as if you just powershifted in a manual. Blue is right, it IS easier on the tranny, per se. Its easier on the tranny, but it generates a LOT more heat, so a tranny cooler is a must. Its also much too jerky for everyday driving, so most either run a WOT trigger or a regular 12v switch. Supposed to make a nice improvement in the 1/4 mile. ---
