resistor?

my buddy just did a mod to his trans were he cuts a wire that goes to the trans and put in a 10ohm resistor and it bumps up the line pressure so when the trans shifts it doesnt slowy shift into get it goes right into gear and the shift is really firm and doesnt take forever. i was wondering if there was a way to do this on my trans 4R70W 97 F-150 4.6L he has a 95 bronco 351 with an E40D his was a yellow wire. if anyone knows anything about this any info would be awesome. alot of guys on his site do this and say its a cheap verison of a shift kid

Yeah, don't do that.

Or maybe do, I don't know. I get a LOT of business from these types of things. LOL

any one know were to put it? i tryed searching but nothing came up.

why is this bad? just bumps up the line pressure talked to a local trans guy he said its not bad on them and helps the trans if your into the pedal alot.

I am going to go on record as the one that said NOT to do this. Of course you can do as you wish.

You know that you can find me here when you need help on getting a rebuild for your transmission if you choose to use this though.

If you want to modify the line pressure and not damage things you can call Troyer Performance and get a custom tune that will do more than just that.

i plan on getting a custom dyno tune and they can bump line pressure but thats 400 dollars a resistor is 2 dollars at radio shack. ill prob just save my newly rebuilt trans and wait to go get it tuned but i was just wondering if it is possible???

what wires and what harness?

i know you said not to. but ford said not to put over 1,000lbs in the bed of my F-150 i put 6,000
