Its supposed to increase available voltage a bit and just make good grounds in general, since the old ones can get messed up.

I just installed one of Tylar's kits over the weekend. Noticeable difference, I'm up 3 volts from where I was before.

Big tylas ground kit is great. Between that and new caps my idle no longer bounces around at all. I have 13 volts damn near anywhere I test in the car. I used the bolt for the center brackets on the rear seats for my stereo and I have 13.7v back there. Havent tested the resistence but it really did help... plus the blue wires match my colors.

I'll post more later if anyone still needs help.

Mo fugger...transmission shop can't do anything about it because its a "rare item". I have to pull it apart and see whats wrong for myself, and i have no transmission experience. If anyone in the southern NH area can lend a hand let me know...

Thats sucks ass man. Get in touch with dark helmet and Gatecrasher on here they can extend loads of wisdom or you can send it to them for repairs. Bright side at least now you have time to work on other items for the car.

^Been talkin with gate the past few days, very helpful.
Unfortunately, I've already done pretty much everything I wanted to. Last thing is to put the transmission back in then put in the FMIC hardpipes :\

Well I got it apart, The pieces inside are VERY easy to break and are not metallic. Everything in there looks good. I went over everything, and nothing is broken or has a big hole in it. The bearings look good.
I am missing the plastic (or whatever) plug on the pass side of the transmission. Is it possible that it broke and fell into the trans?
Alternately, is it possible to test the VCU when the trans is on the car? I can't see anything wrong so Im fine with putting it back together for now and testing the VCU. If the VCU is done I can replace it at a later date, when I have more $$
This shit is either VCU goo or that plug, it has to be. There's so much of it. But if it was VCU goo wouldn't there be an obvious spot on the VCU where it would be leaking from?
