yeah its a standard vlt auto, I actually bought it off natho, it's apparently had a rebuild at some stage in its life, putting about 162rwkw through it, already destroyed one stock auto though, heh.

Nope the $66 one is for the turbo engine. $275 for the non turbo shiftkit. Dont think the turbo shiftkit will work in a NA box. Correct me if im wrong.

for someone with very little to no experiance, is this going to be out of my reach to install myself? I always thought a stage 3 shift kit was sort of boost or throttle dependant, meaning that shifts while the car is off boost are moderately smooth, but still quick, and on boost are hard fast and firm as hell... is that the case with these? when driving the car normaly (not giving it ****..) does it shift smooth, and only really hard when your givin her ****? My stage 2 shift kit in my old VR gave me the ****s after about 3 weeks. even on very low throttle it shift hard as and make me almost go thru the windscreen... Fun when you want it to happen, but when your driving your dog to the vet its a real pain in the ass.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i drove a vn 5l with a stage 2 and was driving like a granny and it shifts hard and it annoys you but that could be due to those type of autos ive been in vls and the shift ok even at low revs so yeh try it and tell us wat you think cheers
