I think its the S5 solenoid in the auto that is adjustable? Someone will correct me on this. Believe me its possible. And the look on peoples face when a stock lookin AU forte changes gears at 80km/h and steps out sideways towards them is priceless.... on the track of course
Mine was an electronic shift kit but not like the ones my friends at shiftkits.com.au have. It was way harder. I used mine at the track and it made my car slower but very spectacular when it kicked out sideways at 100kmph. The s5 solenoid on the au is adjustable as it increases the gearboxes line pressure. The reason the car chirps with the hard kit is that it revs the guts out of the car and then savagely slams in the next gear. The problem is that if your cars power dies down before the shift you will slow down because the car over revs past its peak power. What you guys should be looking for is a firm shift as possible to minimise shift time and firmly into the next gear. If you can lessen the shift lag you will be quicker.
