Does anyone have or know if they make shift adapters for the 3.0 CL?

 

shift adapter? what shift adapter? You are talking automatic right?! are you talking like a venom 400 or something??? explain please... maybe then I might be able to help you more!

 

Humm....mabey I'm calling it something else (Probably am). My friend was telling me about how I can add something that helps to shorten the time it takes to shift gears for the automatic. Perhaps gearbox something?

 

quite honestly, I have no idea... I know of short throw shifts for manuals, not automatics.. sorry i can't help...

 

No prob...I'm gonna ask my buddy again. I'm probably saying the mod all wrong or something...

I was just owndering if anyone knew a way to shift faster in an auto.

 

Are you talking about a shift kit?

 

That might be it...as I understand it, this helps change the shift timing so my auto will shift faster between gears. He also said it wasn't that much for one either...only like $50-60

 

I think you mean the B&M Trick Shift here http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...ht=trick+shift

 

Hummm...that sounds cool, might try that.

But I think my friend was talking about a physical add on, not a liquid/fluid type thing. I'll ask him later tonight and try to get the story straight.

 

Are you thinking of a Level 10 tourque converter? Those are expensive but do help you shifting. They offer a few different pieces for the j30 tranny.

 

Turns out its a "B&M Shift Kit"...anyone hear anything about these?

 

If you are talking about a shift kit the best thing to do would be to go to a performance parts store and ask about it. But Iw as under the impression that they were pretty expensive (2-5 hundred)

 

I did a search on the B&M Shift Kit and found some places that sells them for around $30. Sounds really good but one bad thing is....that they only have them for american cars..seems like they don't make it for us.

 

Technically, aren't our CL's American? Hell, they're made in Ohio. Hehe

 

LoL...yea, but you know what i mean.

 

Blah!...so such a thing does exist...but no application?

 

Not quite sure how much money you are willing to spend, but you can always re-gear the tranny. I know its expensive, but if you REALLY want to do it right, get the gears redone by a pro. The total cost should would depend on your reason for doing it - track or street application that is.

 

Yeah....I've heard about those shift kit....my boss's son bought one for his vette and now he just got one for his truck....someone said that it's probably made for american cars only and I think thats right cuz I've heard about it talking about american cars but not import.

 

No, there are no applications for foreign cars as far as I know. The only B&M's that I know about were designed for TH350,400, and 700 for Chevy's and prolly the C4 for Fords and TF for Chrysler. The "Shift Point Kit" changes the RPM at which the automatic changes gears. It makes the shift fast and crisp which is what makes them chirp second. The kit itself is cheap, but unless you know your auto trannies, it's a job best left to a pro.
