Make sure you follow directions exactly. It seems I managed to screw up my tranny on the install of my new valve body.

gscmiller,
An alternative is the Trans Go valve body upgrade kit. It's under $100 and is easy to do with basic tools and mechanical skills. It works very well IMHO.

Valve body alone was a little over $400, I added a few other things to it so it was just over $500.

Does this upgrade make a noticable difference?
