Any A3 guys got their neutral safety switch working Will be swapping over from A4 to A3 as soon as it gets here.
I know I'll be getting the 36" Lokar dipstick.
Trans crate includes the , B&M Pro Ratchet shifter and cable, correct flexplate, TC, cooler and line, Rossler trans with Rossbrake and RMVB, 9" tailshaft I believe.
I was told I need to swap to a M6 flash, no problem there since I was swapping from a 2000 to a 2002 OS anyway.
So, now its a matter of setting up a Hall-Effect switch for the N/R safety switch to retain the hatch release and R lights.
Also, since I am loading an M6 tune, to get the speedo working will I need to use the M6 reluctor ring setup in the tailshaft, or the A4? Or is the tailshaft housing speedo ring conversion universal and you just program it different? Thanks.

Just got word from Justin, seller of the complete setup, and he said the same thing. Duh to me. Well, its was fun figuring that one out. Now for the remaining...speedo adapter issues....Thanks.

A hall effect does not control lights or neutral safety. If anything the hall effect would be for the speedo sensor.
But thats not the case either, you'll end up with a th400 reluctor ring, early 80's 3/4 ton pickup truck application for 4L60E size yoke (the 9"), if you have the 4" tail with a 32 spline output get a reluctor ring out of the same year range trucks except one ton application.
I don't see how they sell such a complete kit with no speedometer sensors, instructions, etc.

I have a TH350 9" tailshaf with a VSS setup. Works great. I did need to get some PCM tuning to get the speedo right but that was it.
Call Bob Alexander at Perfomance Trans. He built a Jig to set these up. 217-935-5352.
