Wonder if our cars come from the factory with the upgraded solenoids?

don't forget about this link! IPT Performance Transmissions Torque Converters and Transmission Parts for Ford, GM, Chrysler, and Import vehicles

valve body upgrade is my next move for the tranny, i'll change the solenoids as well when i do the install.

I would talk to the guys at eurocharged before throwing on a torque converter. I don't think all the kinks have been worked out with that mod yet. On a side note, for a guy who seems to have every mod under the sun but a pulley it doesn't make any sense. I know in the beginning you were trying to see what you could without a pulley, but now with all those mods and your willingness to throw on expensive and unproven parts for more performance it seems just plain foolish to not just invest in a pulley ( a proven power maker).

Southern Hot Rod is mentioned and they do good work on the LX NAGI transmission for racing. (same as ours, I believe) Perhaps a call to them would be a good place to start if anyone wants to improve shifting. (faster and harder) I suggest PM'ing the members that put in a torque converter already to get the real story on them before running off and buying one. (Moparbust is one) I hope it's as easy as a solenoid change for us too.

not doing a torque converter. already have enough trouble spinning in 1st and 2nd.

valve-body upgrades are BETTER for your transmission because the faster the shift, the less friction is created, as opposed to slowly grinding through gears.

pulley upgrades are fine if that suits you. please refrain from calling me foolish when the parts i have ARE proven power makers, and valve-body upgrades do cut QM times and decrease wear on the transmission.

enjoy your day and your 185pulley.

I'll tell you what, if you can beat anybody with just a pulley (any), intake, and tune I 'll take back that "foolish" bit and eat crow (track or street). I know I know, its your car blah blah blah, but show me the money.

i'm far too successful in 'life' than to need the track to confirm otherwise.

enjoy your cars, have fun, mod as you please.

So I took the plunge and picked up a set of blue tops. Hopefully these valves will be the ticket; I just pray to god I don't open it up and find out I already have them. That will make me cry because I think my grandma's LeSabre has firmer shifts than my SRT and I've been looking for a way to increase line pressure on this transmission with a microcontroller or a pot or anything for that matter to firm up the shifts and I'm coming up short.

Go Rudy! I can't wait to see if these will make our SRTs shift like sports cars instead of grannie-mobiles!

It's gonna happen as soon as I can find a definitive answer on what trans fluid I can use. Does it have to be that $11/qt Shell crap or can I get away with using the $6/qt Mobil1 Full Synthetic. Any recommendations? Obviously cheaper is better if it doesn't compromise performance or protection.

I bought a set of blue tops too, just don't have the money to actually get them installed right now. Plus, I would be furious if I pay to get them put on to find out we have them stock. How much are you going to be charged for the install?

If this works someone with a SRT-6 I'll give it a try. Keep us informed please. (and thanks for taking the plunge)
