Increasing line pressure in the VB with the transgo kit is a good way to prolong the life of your tranny, but the damage has been done. And eventually, the problem will resurface again...just might take a year or so before the slip returns. I'm glad to have bought myself some time to source out a 6spd swap at my convenience. Oh, and my info comes from a very well known Nissan master tech up here in Toronto. Many people can vouch for him on torontomaxima.com as well as in the Canadian section of G35driver.com.
The kit includes new seals for you to change out, are these seals not included in the kit?
