Im about to get a SS TCI 3000...

Will I need a trans cooler and shift kit w/the TCI converters?
Or is it beneficial to get both?

thanks in advance

Shift kit is not necessary, but the shifts will feel a lot looser without one A tranny cooler is a must with any aftermarket converter

I think 3000 is considered right on the borderline. Less than that, it's not needed, more than that and it is definitely needed. I didn't want to take any chances, so I did a cooler on mine.

Shift kit - I would have done with or without the converter.

As everyone says, the cooler is mandatory, and a Transgo shift kit is highly advisable for several reasons: crisp, quick shifts, more positive lock-up, and better fluid circulation. I almost love the shift kit more than the converter and would not have a higher stall converter without one.

I just installed a transgo kit and now I kick myself for not installing it 6 mo ago when I did my tci3000. It feels like a different car.

Get a trans cooler and a shift kit. A SSF instead of the SF wouldn't hurt either.

I did all the stage 2 stuff in the instructions. There were some places to drill in the separator plate.

I'm not sure if I wanna go that big, I dive this alot through the city and etc....
I kinda want to keep it mild, I dunno if the 3500 will be too big

3500 isn't too big. I spend most of my average/lazy acceleration between 2k and 2.5k rpm. Now that my trans is starting to go I am looking into restalling higher while I have the chance.

I recommend both. Atleast do the cooler its cheap insurance and it only took me an hour or so to do.

do both, like said above, cheap insurance as far as the cooler. as far as stall size, get 3500, or bigger. i got a tci ssf 4000, and wish i would have gone bigger!
