  1. Very interesting!!!!

    So there goes who evers theory that disconnecting the lock up would over heat the trans!!!

    Not likely!!

    Ok, I'll say it again, pathy auto trannies are not designed to run unlocked for a long perioid of time. Anytime the torque convertor is not locked up it will be slipping and therefore generating heat from fluid friction.

     

    I never said it will destroy your tranny, but it will generate extra heat and wear (especially on your ATF), and I would guess if you are running it hard offroad you would have a much greater chance of overheating your tranny...

     

    If you don't believe me, see here:

  2. Also can you explain the operation of the power switch that is situated on the dash next to steering column. Does the trans mod switch affect this power switch?

     

    Power switch changes the transmission shift points, causes it to rev higher for better performance. The switch would not affect it.

     

    Are you aware of any problems that would occur if you kept the lockup disengaged for any length of time?

     

    Your tranny would over heat and you might ruin your torque converter.

  3. Calmini has different part numbers for thier hb and Pathfinder arms, and until recently didn't even have pathy arms. Our pathfinders have about 1 inch more ifs travel than the hardbodies. I am pretty sure the oem arms are different; if I went aftermakert I would want something actually designed for a pathy, not a hb copy...

  4. Expensive one for manual trans made by Thorley, the only way to go, you can have an exhaust shop fab you up a new crossover pipe.

     

    Cheaper ones are made by pacesetter and the general concensus is don't bother.

  5. A lot of times the wind noise is caused by sagging door hinges, it allows the wind to come in on the front edge of the front door pillar. The fix is to have the hinge pins redone at a dealer or maybe body shop...
