As for the rev limiter...the shifts worked just fine in his car. I'll tell you this, it kicked way harder with the 3.92 rear end
3.26 will help your top, so you might not spin on thrid any more . I think the open diff from a GS will swap with LSD from a Supra, so you can keep the LSD and still be able to swap just gears. I have the TRD on mine right now with stock gears, but I might do my own swap between my GS and SC. I think I might have more fun with the 3.92 gear on my GS since there's not too many roads around here to top out at

Default HKS SLD Problems

Found this old thread while searching and thought I'd bring it back to life.

Does anyone have an HKS SLD type 2 working correctly in there 2jz-gte vvti?

I recently did this swap into my '98 SC300 and got the SLD to get rid of the annoying speed cut which happened right about 100mph for me but now I've got other problems

1. When accelerating the car downshifts from 4th to 3rd in the 90mph range then right away upshifts back to 4th.

2. When passing around 100-110mph the engine will suddenly start bogging and boost drops to about 7psi, this only lasts a second or so then goes away. This also happens off and on at higher speeds. It feels like the factory speed cut but only happens for a second or so.

3. Worst of all, when decelerating (foot off the gas and brake) it suddenly decides to downshift into 3rd again at around 90 or so then immediately upshifts since the rpm's are way too high. It's sorta like problem 1 but in reverse.

Thanks for any help!

I never heard of such issues with the SLD. Could it be it has been wired the wrong way round ?
