so i looked up to how to on installing the kit. I have a 99 alero gls 3.4 v6 and i'm not certain if have a 40e or a 45e transmission? also they only show pics of the plug you have to tap into for an 2.2l. where is the sensor that you tap into, on a 3.4l v6?

4T45E, should be a similar location and color of wiring, so when you find it, take a picture for us so I can update the How-To. :)

so i believe this is the sensor i should be looking at, one is a pic of it at a distance as you would find it and the other i exposed the wires. When are you wiring it, is the wiring exactly the same as the 40e?

i have the PFYC transmission tourque converter, that plugs in right there for the 3.4, I am not sure if it is similar but the tourque converter did work, but unless ur using it for towing it probably isnt worth it.

why did you take the interceptor off and put the b & m shift plus on?

Interceptor is adjustable, but has no off switch. B &M isn't Adjustable, but you can turn it off.

Well, Neither are good for daily use, Since it's hard on the car.

I think you get better performance out of the interceptor, but the B&M is really close and it's more conveinient, Since it can be turned off.

Mind you, I'm not 100% sure, Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, that's for sure :p

B&M for sure dude.
Interceptor if its a track-only car, which I'm assuming its not (Daily Driver)
you can turn the B&M on if u have to smoke some rice lol

i put the b&m on cause of the ablity to turn it off. the adjustablity of the inercepter was nice tho.
