yeah i was lookin for somrthing to cure the ''no od at wot''problem i been having and on summitracing.com i found part#BMM-70249 A 700R4 wide open throttle 3-4 upshift kit,i was wondering if anybody ever installed one bfore?, what does this kit consist of?and what does the installation consist of? any help would b appreciated.thanx in advance

 

Lots of people have bought that part on the board. As I understand it, it will increase the throttle needed to get a downshift on the highway. Will also raise the mph at which time it will downshift from 4th to 3rd.

The downside being that while you may be able to get 130 mph in 4th instead of 115 mph, you will also get the downshift at 130 (instead of 115) and put your engine way up into the redline.

 

hmm thats not what the ad says,but anyway how about the installation and the kit itself ,what do they consist of ? will i need to pull the valve body?

It's not that bad to install. It's a TV plunger sleeve that's getting replaced. Visible once you take the pan off.

Wait a minute. You were looking at their $125 upshift kit. I was thinking of their $35 kickdown valve. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku

I had a Pro Built Automatic shift kit put in yesterday. I asked him to include one of his allen screw modified kickdown valves in with the kit. It works perfectly. At 85 mph it won't kickdown to 3rd at full throttle. Also makes the WOT shift. I'd ask him to send you one. Can't cost more than about $15 or so.

 

well i appreciate the offer but i actually went to the speed shop and got raped $176.00 for the darn thing today,but just out of curiousity what does kickdown valve consist of?thanks for the help.

 

installed kit today and it works like a charm,and easy to install to,thanks for the replies guys.
