manual valve body

My transgo kit shifts instantly too. I installed with the most agressive settings and tightened the tv cable up a bit and it's like eeeEEEEEE BANG! eeeeeEEEEE BANG!

Yeah, ATF makes quite a mess. It gets in your clothes, on the shop floor, all over your tools. Plus there's over 13 quarts in there though some will stay in the converter. I had to drop my valvebody quite a few times and I had good luck recylcing the almost new fluid. Just filter heavily when pouring it back in.

Beware, with a transgo kit, you'll need to work the OD->D shifter or it will slam into OD at it's earliest convenience, at about 2k or less in 3rd and then ignore throttle and not downshift. Apparently it's how the kit is designed. Just a heads up. Otherwise, it's a darn good kit.

Before I installed mine (it was a B&M), I asked around to see if there was anything I should be aware of. Everyone said it was easy, nothing to worry about. I'm assuming that what went wrong was that the tv cable was set wrong because after all that I found out it was broke. Plus there were some people "helping" that did some things that I thought were wrong. First took out the wrong bore, I don't think they put it back correctly. There was a spacer that went into the 2-3 accumulator. Well they didn't do exactly what the instructions said. I go step by step on any instructions, but sometimes guys won't listen to a girl (even if it is her car). I should've started to bitch so they would listen. Anyways, it was taken back out and redone by the instructions, but by then it was too late.
I'm not joking when I say it was gone in 5 miles. It was probably sooner. The rebuild of the trans, I stepped up and if I didn't think something was right, I said something. I wish someone had told me to about the dangers of foolin with a vb. I didn't know anything about a trans. Make sure everything stays clean, and go slow. Don't rush it. And go by the instructions exactly. I guess it was a learning experience.

well if you have a full manual valvebody you dont need a tv cable because u are controlling the shifts...but its not a bad idea
