Default Transgo shift kit installed

This is f**king awesome! The car accelerates much quicker now and the shifts are perfect. OD upshifting and downshifting is much better now. When shifting manually the shifts are so responsive. It feels so much better than what you do with a programer. I recomend this to all you automatics guys out there. I did the job myself and it is easy it just takes time.

Sweet. I'm gonna get one at the time I put in a torque converter and cooler. How do you like your stall? I was considering a little higher, like a 3300 or so. What kind of tires do you run? Any track times?

Shift points are determined by the computer not the shift kit

Drill some holes in the plate and the valve body, replace some springs and valves and put it back together.
