Tranny is DONE!!!

So, this last Friday my buddy and I started ripping out my transmission to replace all the parts I bought for it. All I can say is I'm glad I did it myself. I learned so much about my transmission its not even funny, nor near as hard as I expected it to be. We ended up finishing installing everything on Sunday only to realize Monday that we accidentally broke the plastic plug on top of the VB that goes throught the Transmission. I will say those plastic connectors are really EDIT .I bought a new one installed it on the VB didn't even touch it with anything moved the wire and broke the bottom of the new one I just bought!! I was furious! So, my buddy and I made it work anyways until I get back in there to replace it since I'm going to be replacing my stock transmission pan since they also suck! I had to beat around on the pan with a hammer just to get it to seal again. Those are the only two problems I had with the whole project. We replaced the Flexplate with a billet one, installed a billet input shaft, billet output shaft, triple disk TQ conv, shift kit, billet servos, billet band anchors, all new clutches and steels, and used a 48RE master rebuild kit all from DTT. We also had to install a voltage regulator for the new governor solenoid. I'm still playing around with the voltage regulator, but I almost have it nailed another couple trips down the road and she will be perfect. All I can say about the transmission is holy crap! When this thing shifts you know IT!! This thing is a monster, and now I definitely don't slip anything anymore with the edge on lvl 6 or the Smarty turned up on sw9. It's amazing how much more power I can feel to the ground. I took pics, and as soon as I can figure out how to resize and post them I will. I didn't get near as many as I wanted. When your drinking a beer and contimplating what is going on during the job trying to figure out everything you kind of forget. The only thing I haven't bought for this thing is the shift enhancer. Anyone have any suggestions on the shift enhancer? Is it worth the money or not? Thanks
