BigDawg Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 I have a question for you guys. When my car shifts out of first the tires always seem to cherp, and it happens all the time. And I was wondering if any of u would know what that problem might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20G TSi Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 could someone have installed a shift kit previously? Thats what it sounds like to me. Does 2-3 and 3-4 shift somewhat hard as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRN96WS6 Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 It's a shift kit sounds like the previous owner put one in to firm up the shifts. It's not something to complain about. smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still sounds like a shift kit. If that is the only problem you're having, I wouldnt sweat it. Now if you notice somem slippage, or not upshift/downshifting like it is supposed to, then I'd be worried. You can buy a shift kit for almost any automatic transmission... Basically all it does is add greater hydraulic pressure within the valve body. This makes the transmission shift harder, instead of slipping into the gears. this is supposed to add to the life of the transmission since its not eating away at the lining as much for each shift.
