I think i found out why my shift kit only had one copper pipe and 2 stiffer springs when i had the kit swapped over into my new tranny.
I have talking with the previous owner and he said he had put a B&M shift kit in it. Here was i thinking it was a MV stage 1.5 with different components!! DAM it!
Anyone had any reviews on how good their shift kits are? It feels great and as good as STU83's old MV stage 1 shift kit, though it feels quicker in changing, but not as snappy if that makes any sense!
Anyway, it feels great, so maybe thats another option for auto soarer owners. Not sure how much it cost him though.

You just blew my theory about the MV shift kits!
So do you know which accumulator had the rod and which had the harder springs? And are you sure they were harder springs as one of the accumulators has 2 springs stock.

and you can confirm that the pipe that is used is copper? Is it rounded at the edge at all? If it is that is great as my dad is a plumber and has heaps of copper around

yeah it is copper, but i dont think it can be replicated unless you get all the specs of them off Mike from MV I recon you'd need to be very exact with the measurements. Im really not wanting to pull the box out for another $400

a guy on sf.com has already made up the copper pipes and I am pretty sure he put the measurements up. It basically just has to be the same length as the spring that is totally uncompressed.

If you're not sure about length, cut the pipe a tad shorter than the spring and install both. You'll have to use a pipe size that will fit inside the spring.
If you can't get copper pipe that will fit through the middle of the spring, you can use a solid brass or alluminium rod.
