Sounds good.
Now you just need a crash course in multimeter use, and the Nissan Service Manual, AT section, from about page 31.

Slight thread did here....

Krisso did you end up installing this mod? How'd you find it?

@ Bacho86 I asked the bloke who services my auto about this mod. and
was advised against it being a daily driver, as Chaz stated if it goes wrong
you'll destroy your auto in a matter of minutes, $$$$$$$$$
I wonder how many have this mod done on their daily driver ???

Amy's uncle has done it on his 100 series Cruiser. It's his daily driver but he doesn't use it for everyday driving, only when towing his large caravan. He highly recommends it for towing.

Yeh there was a post on fb last night that reminded me to look into it a bit more.

TD - interested to know if your auto specialised was just talking about "diy modifications" or commercial kits available from wholesale automatics etc

I do remember reading that you could expect more ware and tare on your convertor clutch pack due to increased engagement, but otherwise near heard anything negative about it

I'm looking into it mainly for off-road ability to help with low range hill descents

Ours is a daily. Only use the manual lockup when towing. Other times you'd never know it was there.
In my system I used all the safety options Chazz discussed earlier, and have had no problems once I got it set up.
The mistake I made in fitting it even healed itself. I switched two wires and fed 12 volts into the TCM where I was meant to get 12v out of it.

Big Fletch also did a diagram
Nah just in general as he must see them coming in all the time

I wouldn't use a single relay system like the one in the picture above. If you accidentally turned it on while in park or neutral, you may fry your auto.

Haven't seen Fletch around in a while? Anyone heard from him recently?
