i had my tranny rebuilt too! put a trans cooler and the shift kit ...i got mine from thunderracing its a 28000 gvw from them its a good size one. be sure to get the tranny cooler if you dont get the shift kit. just depends on how you drive it. both will help the life of your tranny. if you drive it and do the occasional WOT i'd get one to protect your clutches. it doesnt shift super hard but they're nice firm shifts. when your tranny shifts it kinda feels like it "pulls back some and then when it switches gears, goes foward"; the shift kit kinda makes it lunge forward. they're good investments. i'd do them both now that you have the tranny out

Will it shift hard, well it depends on how it's set up.
You don't take a shift kit out of the box and put it in, you have to take into consideration (well a lot of stuff) vehicle useage being one. Then you choose usually seperator plate hole sizes, accumulator springs, boost valve size, servo size, etc, etc, etc.

i had it in my 4l60 and i loved the way she shifted. but the hubby does all my builds and he seems to work majic Caveman is running one of our trannys now.
Maybe Caveman can say if the shift is ok for him...

I like everything about the transgo except for the accum mods I prefer to leave them stock for a more progressive feel

Remember to have the torque mgt deleted as it won't allow the trans to shift right once it senses the firm shift under load.

I have the trans go reprogram kit. Shifts firm. not too hard... doesnt **** at all tho, weird.

Hey performabuilt!! Since it was brought up, whats your opinion on torque management? Should it be deleted or what? I heard that it can also be reduced, I am no expert here.. Use me for an example, mods in sig. Thanx, this I believe is somewhat of a debate, and I remember a post on this before, but it really didnt go any where...

Back up as I am interested in the torque management debate as well.

I've had stage 2 and 3 kits in my 4th gens and I love them.
The install is relatively simple if you've even been inside a tranny.
Much firmer, but not too rough for DDing.

I dont have one in my car yet, but my buddies Firehawk has their shift kit. Shifts are very solid. I like that feel much better than stock, laggyish shifts.
