Be clean, be clean, pay close attention and take your time. I would put a plug kit in the oil pan if you don't have one. Have some extra tranny fluid incase you spill some.

thanx mcmopar u know i thought long and hard about the SMR kit u know cause they're 30 min from my house but this deal came up full instructions and all...hey buddy after putting in the shift kit did u ever take pressure reading before and after the kit? how much did it go up by?

Mcmopar

All of my pressures were spot on before the mod kit, I have not had time to check them since-but you can feel the difference in the lockup and shifts.

If nobody has mentioned it yet...keep everything CLEAN . Also a digicam might be an invaluable tool when you run into one of those "wich way did it go"? scenarios . And don`t be in a hurry, haste WILL make waste (don`t ask me how i know )

Curious to hear the difference in shifts, I may be in the market soon myself.

As others have mentioned, BE CLEAN!!

If you're gonna use aerosol solvents (very handy with the valve body), Brake Kleen is the more cost effective. Figure at least four (4) cans.

mr T

thanx guys yep staying clean is the main priority...heck maybe i'll use latex gloves when taking the VB off and putting it back on

Mr T,


Please let me know how it goes and maybee pm me the contact info to where you got the shift kit. I may want to call him and see if he may ship one to me(his price looks real good).


thanks

The shifts can be tailored to what you want-from lightning quick and snap your neck, to just a little more firm than stock. You drill holes, different sizes will dictate shift quality, and there is usually a spring selection that lets you customize the shift points (RPM)
