RE: Modified Governor In AT w/Stock VW Engines So let me ask a very basic question. What makes us think that the engineers at VW didn't know what they were doing? What makes us think that the stock match between RPM and tranny gearing is wrong? And in addition what makes us think the new shift points are better than what the original designers came up with? BTW, I understand the need to change the shift point in the auto tranny if going to a Zetec or Subie engine, whole different power curves. I also know that the auto tranny in the Vanagons has a stellar reputation for reliability and endurance when paired with the stock engines. So why are we trying to re-engineer what has proven to be a good setup? |
