TNK · Post by **TNK** » Sun Feb 12, 2006 9:46 pm

the half a hemi shift mod is not worth the time that it takes to do it. yes i have a trans cooler

LCPLPunk · Post by **LCPLPunk** » Sun Feb 12, 2006 10:00 pm

to try to answer any more questions..yes u can downshift with it. Just be sure u don't downshift to 1st when ur going 70mph..

And, i swapped mine out at about 50,000 miles or so, i think ur's will be fine at 78k...

OH, and i don't believe Moderns is the same as the Cheetah. Modern's is just a performance valve body. It doesn't let you shift as far as i know, it just firms up the shift points.

The RMVB does EVERYTHING u want...

Now, stop reading and go buy one already!

I know how good this thing is, and I know that I want one already, but if you can ( you dont have to) maybe it would be helpful if you made a vid showcasing the RMVB, like downshifting, upshifting, etc....I mean, for some members it really doesent matter, but I like to see demo's of things before I buy them....If you dont want to and it's too much trouble, I understand...I want one already, but as soon as i can get the money, you know that Ill e geting one.....either way, thanks for the help!

what i meant was can we order direct from them?

LCPLPunk · Post by **LCPLPunk** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 7:17 am

as far as a video, if i knew how to take one, it'd already be on here.

Honestly, it's EXTREMELY easy. Basically, it's alot like a manual. U will hear the car get to a certain RPM and u'll basically just pull the shifter down to the next gear. U don't have to pull the button in to go to a higher gear. When you downshift u have to pull the button in and u basically just push it up into the lower gear.

As far as the direct site, you'll have to pick one closest to you and just call 'em and see if they have 'em. I THINK Summit racing actually carries them, you might want to try a search on their website.

ok, wait, actually reverse that. To upshift u have to pull the button, to downshift just push it forward.

I usually shift to 2nd at about 20-30mph if i'm crusing, and i usually downshift into 2nd only at 40mph and below..

But it dosen't work as an auto at all any more does it?

LCPLPunk · Post by **LCPLPunk** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 11:31 am

it does, but it doesn't. It won't shift until u do it, but, there isn't a clutch to push in, so basically it's all up to your hand, and paying attention to when u need to shift.

LCPL, you ever pulled the top of the shifter off? you can probably get rid of that button, Ill try it tonight when I install my new Cheetah RMVB from turboaction. Sorry had to throw in another plug for them, good business I tell ya.

LCPLPunk · Post by **LCPLPunk** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 8:43 am

well, u'll need a button to upshift...i dunno, i guess i'm used to that button where it is.

Anyways, good luck with your install, tell us how u like it!

so what kinda gas mileage do you get with the RMVB?

J-Villa · Post by **J-Villa** » Tue Feb 21, 2006 12:34 am

in my 98 i didn't have to push the button in to up shift...only to down shift....

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Tue Feb 21, 2006 12:40 am

I asked the dude from TurboAction when I called them up last year about gas mileage. He said that if you have a lead foot and are going to redline all the time then well duh your going to get bad gas mileage. But if you shift it like say your atx shifts it, then you should get the same gas mileage.

LCPLPunk · Post by **LCPLPunk** » Fri Feb 24, 2006 12:24 am

ya..even with my turbo i noticed that if i drive like normal the gas mileage is the same. Even on my trip to NC (about 600 miles) i got about 30mpg...

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Sat Feb 25, 2006 10:34 pm

ive noticed that, since i stopped manually shifting my ATX..... bc i alwasy took it to high rpms..... im getting way better gas mileage... godammit. i could have sopent that 80$ on my new tails instead of that o2 sensor...

So did u get the RMVB yet?

neon_ert3 · Post by **neon_ert3** » Mon Mar 06, 2006 2:39 pm

Go to turboaction.com get the number and call them. Install should be around 2 hours. So you take labor and you times the labor rate by 2 and there you gooooo.

I'll post a video of me shifting tomorrow or Thursday only thing is though my camera has no sound

Let me know if you still want to see it, won't be as good cuz you can hear it hit the rev limit

. Also this is my quote from another thread. "Neonnytes wrote: I've got the Performance Valve body and I've been shifting from 2->D for 3 years now, no probs and I abuse the living shit out of it. You just need either the Performance or the Turbo Action RMVB. The reason you want the Turbo Action is because if you are not REALLY careful you can shift from 2 to N or worse R. It's safer to pull away from N and R With the Performance VB I'm not sure if it'd be safe to shift from 1-2 because I never have to with mine. I keep it in 2, stall TC, and let off the brake. 1st gear pulls all the way to the rev limit, hold 2 to rev limit and shift to D. Every shift jerks your freaking head back and the front of the car rises. Good mod to have. Like I said I've been manually shifting my VB for over 3 years now. No probs. DO NOT SHIFT A STOCK VB!! Line pressure is not high enough and it still has the ATX gear overlap, it will grind the fuck out of the gears if you do."

Great info! ^^^

i still wanna see the video.

soul_sword34 · Post by **soul_sword34** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 4:26 pm

I post so much I forgot all about that. I'll get it up first chance I get. I just need to find someone to hold the camera. It's hard to go WOT, shift, keep your eyes on the road and use the camera too, all by your lonesome.

neon_ert3 · Post by **neon_ert3** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 1:26 am

good luck! dont kill yourself to get a vid. have a friend record you or something
