My auto tranny on my 95 duratec recently started to shift just like a shift kit had been installed.It even would chirp between the gears this scared me because I thought that the tranny was on the way out however after checking the check engine light I found that the vehicle speed sensor was the culprit. I have cleaned the plug and put it back together and it worked fine but I must admit that the chirp was very nice to have so being the speed demon that I am, should I go pay for a shift kit or can I just continue with leaving the vehicle speed sensor unpluged. This really is a awesome way of getting your auto trannee to chirp like a shift kit without the expense.

i think u can get a shift kit for $120 from trans-go, probably be the better way to go.

Probably not a good idea. If you want firmer shifts, get a Superchip or Diablo chip.

A SuperChip or DiabloSport will not CHIRP your shifts.

Have your ATX rebuilt when it needs it, and have it rebuilt with a shift kit and clutches,
like a TransGo Shift Kit or a Level Ten rebuild kit.
