From the discussion it sounds like the "QC" accomplishes the same thing as a mechanical shift kit. Quicker, cleaner, firmer shifts while helping to reduce or eliminate shift overlap.

I know this may not transfer over to the 4EAT, BUT...
I have messed with automatic equipped performance cars for 20+ years, and with the manual "shift kits" I have experianced cooler temps and less wear due to the reduction of slippage on shifts. I know the 4EAT is not a paragon of durability, but if I had not traded my tealy I would be on this like white on rice. Our other tealy has a 5 speed courtesy of one of toms swap kits... so its a moot point with it. I have followed this piece of equipment from the first postings about it and had a very good idea what the spikes were on the dyno sheet, as it is not uncommon to see them in performance built automatics. The disclaimer has been stated that you need to have a GOOD transmission that is properly adjusted. Look into other performance parts... you will have a LOT of trouble finding a company who will replace your transmission due to the tq convertor throwing more tq at it... a shift kit company who will replace your transmission due to failure from sudden power transfer. A nitrous company wont give you another engine because their system blew your engine. With a performance modification you roll your dice and you pay your money. In the future, if a transmission is not up to it and fails here and there... The people will have no leg to stand on in court. I honestly think this is a good modification for the SVX. I also believe that the QC should come with the trpical "off road only" "not responsible for damage due to improved performance" disclaimers other performance parts have. Jim

And that's all I am saying. If it were going to be closed, it would have been, but there is nothing rule breaking, yet. It appeared to be headed that way, so a friendly reminder was in order. Call it a pre-emptive strike if you will, but no one has been cited.

If any of the post violates the rules, the whole post goes.
I also wonder why you started this thread. And I completely understand why this thread wasn't started here by Harvey.

Furthermore at at any time he could have posted there or here, simple advice that further testing was in hand, if that was honestly desired.

A spade is a spade. A fact is a fact. The forum is grubby.

Please define 'grubby' for me. I go there some times, so am I grubby also? lol
No, really Trevor, what exactly are you getting at here? I will acknowledge that the forum is less than classy, but some of the members actually do have a brain. Glad you are makeing trouble here again as you gave us quite a scare.

CAN WE PLEASE GET OVER OURSELVES AND STICK TO THE TOPIC AT HAND!!
Personally, I do not think this product should be used on a daily driver car for the average joe going back and forth to work. As noted earlier This product should only be used on a solid, well maintained, properly cared for transmission, preferably with a cooler installed. It seems to be perfect for someone who runs there car hard, or drives it only on the weekends. Use it if your trying to squeeze every ounce of performance you can out of this car at any cost. If I had an SVX with an auto that wasnt worn out, It would be installed in my car asap...I wanna see what it feels like to have 219.32 hp at the wheels of a SVX.

"First or all, I did not start this thread, it was started prematurely to undermine whatever I am doing as usual. The “Quick Change” would have been announced when it was fitted, tested, and ready for release. The uninformed debate that has ensured was not my intention, or desire." Harvey. Yes a spade is a spade and a fact is fact.

It went like this; "This unit should only be fitted to a gear box in good working order and condition, with a well adjusted Band and a working AWD" I can understand your concern. I would probably would be too, if I hadn't driven a car with it on. But having driven it for 13 months, in all conditions, except abusing it, I find it is one of those things you forget is there, that is till you want to slip out of your lane into the next and there is a gap coming up, you give it a bit of throttle, and instead of it sitting there waiting for it to go, It just jumps into the empty lane. The other place it reminds you it is there, is when you are sitting behind a car waiting to pass. The roads clears to overtake and hit the throttle, Instead of hoping a car doesn't come the other way, it just grabs 3rd and you are around and back on your side of the road. I know you are Technical, so I think you will change your mind when you get to try a car with it on. Harvey.
