Anti-Venom mod?? Anybody done it? My buddy at work with a Cobra was talking about doing an Anti-Venom mod to make his car shift better. I did some googleing and it looks like everyone with a cobra or corvette who has done it says it makes the car shift much better.
I tried to search on here but my phone won't let me? Lol
anybody done it in an F-body? If so how did it work out?

Assuming the bolt/detent thing is the same on our T-56's..which Im pretty sure it is...Im going to give this a try. I have a TON of room on the side of my trans, and I plan to change the trans and diff fluid soon. So Im probably going to try it as an experiment.
I dont expect miracles. But Ill take anything that makes for a smoother shift.
Just have to decide what trans fulid I watn to try this time around. Then Ill do it.

Meh. Enough folks have claimed that it made a difference for me to try the $4 modification. Not going to make my trans worse. If it makes no change, back on the ramps and out the washers come.
I was thinking...If the detent bolt, or whatever its called, has a ball on the end that is supposed to roll, and that ball becomes worn, so it doesnt roll, that could concievably cause rough shifter movement...no?
I dont know enough about the thing to say...so Ill be a guinea pig and try it. If it works, Ill report back. If it blows up...Ill report back.

What a terrible "mod"...haha. Cant believe someone was making $60 a pop to produce these results. Yes...the shifter moves easier. No...it doesnt take away the notchiness of the transmission really. Yes...it makes your shifter feel anti-positive and limp.
It doesnt take away the bad notchiness...it takes away the good. I should have known when I pulled the detent bolt, and the little detent ball was clean and free. Nothing to hang up or cause issues. Just keeps things tight.
Honestly, the only thing those two washers did that was good, was reduced the amount of turns it took to tighten the stupid bolt back up.
Anyway...it only cost me $1.80 to try, and its not really hurting anything now. So due to it being such a PITA to get to...Im leaving it until I get back underthere for something else.
On a side note...Mobil 1 ATF made my trans feel like complete garbage compared to the regular Dex III I had in there before. Another piece of advice that I could have avoided from the boards. OH well...live and learn.

As surmised.. No surprise there.. LOL
Interesting.. How many miles on your T56 since blockers were replaced? Does it have CF blockers in it? I can see the better M1 making a high-mileage unit more prone to grind, but in newly rebuilt units it works very nicely.

Yeah...I had a feeling it was a crap mod. Ill reverse it at some point.
As for my trans...Im not really sure to be honest. It came in my donor car, and the owner of the donor got it second hand. He was told, and I assumed confirmed, that it had been upgraded. Ive never been inside, and Im sure he wasnt. So...for all I know, it could be stock haha. It has the upgraded rear seal and all that...but no clue on the inside.
Im thinking about doing a Stage II Tick package just for a piece of mind before it scatters itself or leaves me stranded.
I also suspect the autozone slave cylinder, though brand new, isnt working like it should. A new GM slave is on my shelf and will go in when the trans comes out again.
Oh well...another day another dollar haha.
