I did it, its not worth anything, you loose passing gear on the highway (which SUCKS royally), no chirping of tires, no nothing, I actually ran soo rich it wasnt even funny, I could smell raw gas.
Sorry guys this mods not for me, and probably not for anyone. Maybe with more power it would be noticable, but for my modded avenger it did NOTHING.
You dont get a cel which is good but other than that I think it actually made the car slower
basically car is normal until you get on the highway, and if your cruising at 70 or whatever and slam the gas to pass it just stays in 4th (which sucks)

actually now that Im messing with it cause I havent hooked the wire back up yet it actually does work I guess
I can brake torque and lay rubber instead of the engine bogging down, so I guess it does work, you really need to install a switch on it though so you can get passing gear function back when you need it then hit the switch and be able to peel out.

and actually its kind of fun to corner with, you can just mash the gas down and not have to worry about switching into 3rd and rocketing off out of control. its more of a gradual accelleration into the turns, its fun.

At first I didnt notice anything except for the loss of passing gear at 70mph+ and yes at first I smelled raw gas too, but now I dont notice the gas and the car does shift much harder (TCM must be learning). A switch is a good idea, this is similar to the TQ lockup mod in that you only want it working sometimes. Im gonna rig up a box with TQ lockup/Torque reduction and autostick buttons. The Torque reduction button would work good with the autostick causing the gears to stay where they are instead of the tcm bumping you down into 3rd for passing.
and yes with a higher stall TQ/shift kit ,autostick, high enegry rebuild kit , this mod and the TQ lockup mod these trannies could be fun for once.

is it just the 4-3 shift that wont work or does it not downshift at all when you mash the gas (3-2 and 2-1)? That is really shitty that the ecu takes torque away to soften shifts

you only loose passing gear when you are cruizin in 4th at 70+mph and try to slam on the gas it wont go back to 3rd for that passing gear <-- thats why wiring a switch is good.
all you do is just cut wire 63 (orange with black stripe)from the ecu and either just leave it and tape the cut wires up, or wire in a switch to it, so you can turn it on and off. I will do a write up if you want. This only works on automatics with the TCU seperate from the ECU. basicaly anyone with a pin 63 thats orange with a black stripe.
like this
Stock TCMpin10--------------pin63ECU
Modified TPMpin10------Switch-----pin63ECU thats it

Oooh...this sounds sweet. So, we could get rid of that irritating bog when you slam the gas from a stop. I've been dying to eliminate that. I'll have to see if this is possible on 1995's.
