I'm pretty sure that's what happens. You increase the line pressure with the Shift Plus, then the ETS system shuts off.

Did the same thing with my Autotrans Interceptor when I increased the line pressure over a certain amount. Of course... the Autotrans was adjustable (unlike the Shiftplus...)

back from the dead, just installed shiftplus on my 99 sfgt, when i put it in stage 1 it works really good for a while and shifts feel quicker and firmer and life is good. but after driving for a while my ets light comes on and then the car will start shifting whiplash hard? turn the car off and turn shiftplus off and everything returns to normal

any help would be appreciated

Stage 1 is tolerable for daily driving, stage 2 is very firm and is better for use on the track or when you are playing around. IIRC you do have to shut the car off to go back to normal.

Gotcha. Well, in that case I would re-check your wiring, that is really the only think I can think of. It's been a while since I have messed with them at all. I never really had any issues with that, mine worked pretty well in stage 1 and was pretty consistent.

You might be low on fluid....

Also, this may be a long shot, but check your IAT senor on your intake, I know this can cause hard shifting, could be in conjunction with the shift kit. Just a thought.

thanks for the input guys, fluid level was fine, so i said f it and toook the shiftplus out and sold it to a friend, car is back to normal now (ets light never comes on anymore, shifts like factory) so idk haha i did notice before i took it out that the light/hard shifting usually came on after anyhting more then about 40% throttle and then would stay on until i shut the car off. thannks for the help anyways
