Trans-go is a good company, I have one and no compaints and I do not have a cooler. I have seen your mods, what are your rwhp numbers? thanks and good luck with the shift kit you will like it.

The transgo kit is great I'm running it on my vertible with out a trans. cooler, but I would definentally suggest getting a tranny cooler installed if you plan on running a stall sometime down the road. Plus the best way to keep that AOD in good shape is to keep it at a cool temp.fd

Ya I would suggest doing the trans cooler as well. I havent had my shift kit put in yet but from everything i have heard it can only help you out in the long run. Hey OneFine89Mustang let me know what it cost yaa to get em both done if you take it in or how easy it was if you do it yourself. Good luck man!
