Uni,

Thank's alot for all the insight you've given me. I've decided against the mod, But rather decided I will be going with a chip instead.

I've never heard of the problem with the CD4E with a chip installed, And a chip.. In this case would net me more power than a simple pressure line trick would.

With my car going on 140,000, and being my only way of transportation. In my honest oppinion it's better to leave it alone (Or atleast in this situation do it right, with a chip.)

Again, I thank you for taking the time to post the post you have. Not many people would take the time you did to explain it to us.

Thanks,
-Josh

WOW! Thanks for all of the info!!

You will also need to monitor the seperate shift circuits pressures as well.




Couldn't you just use an oil pressure guage? That's what I was planning on using. (I want to be able to monitor it for my upcoming my turbo upgrade.) Something with a memory to record peaks.

BTW, what does TV stand for?

Thanks again.

Yeah, I'm betting it is the samething. Basically something that is able to measure fluid within a wide range of pressure.

And what does "TV" stand for? Hell... I don't know, but I will find out!

Alright... here's a link to an article about the AOD tranny, but covers TV pressure and what it is.

I stumbled across what TV stands for today too. Throttle Valve. It is an old reference when cars used to regulate the transmission pressure with a rod from the throttle. It's funny how that old stuff sticks.

BTW, ohhh sooo close to 1000 posts.
