to everybody running this mod... chime in please
any problems with long term use, i saw 2 years without a problem....
i am thinking of putting in a switch on the wire and switching on to get pull if needed off the line and off when done....
example: switch on to merge (or overtake a lane) from a stop then off before the harsh 1St gear down shift occurs.
any input greatly appreciated............

I cut the wire to the soleniod and have firmer shifts,and better off the line pull.nothing hurt so far,all good i have a 92sc400 with bfi,kn drop-in,deleted 3rd cat,to dual n1 mufflers,and sometingelse im forgetting but for the most part this mod has done nothing but help my performance.I havent seen a downside to this except the few obd2 guys for some reason..

I unplugged mine, turning onto the freeway car downshifted hard and stalled out. Wouldn't start until the key was fully pulled out and put back in. Im going to keep it unplugged for a little longer and see if I get the same issue, seems like I might have another problem.

I unplugged that sensor tonight and went out for a test drive. First reaction: Holy Crap! 
you can REALLY feel the difference. Ive never been able to peel out from a stop, but tonight was the night. The tires spun like crazy.
The upside: when you step on the gas, you feel the power, the car literally pushes you back into the seat. I love it.
The downside: from 1st to 2nd gear, it shifts at 4500rpm. From 2nd to 3rd, it shifts at 5100rpm. I haven't tried from 3rd to 4th. This can get kind of annoying, but you can override it by putting it into low gear or 2nd. One more thing is, since my car is a 1996 OBDII, I got a check engine light.
Thanks a lot KC95SC400 for this find, and if you find a way to trick the ECU, let me know.
