Transgo HD2-C Question Im about to put this shift kit in while I throw my stall in, my question is how many spacers should I put in the accumulator in a stock tranny for safe measures?

Thanks, has anyone else with the HD-2 have had any problems running spacers in the accumulator that has had the kit in for awile with a stock trans? I'm just trying to get a few opinions on the subject

For whatever it's worth....If your accumulator housing casting number ends in 428 don't install any spacers. If it ends in 937 and you add one spacer it will end up an equal depth as the 428 (within 1/16")
I'm running the 937 housing with one spacer and it's a little on the firm side with a .093 2nd feed.
A 2000 trans should have the 428 housing so it will work fine with no spacers. It will shift a little on the firm side.
If you use the stock aluminum piston I'd grind the three tabs off the top of it.
Grinding the tabs off allows the orange spring to coil bind, if the tabs are left on they will beat the seperator plate up. Aftermarket pistons come without the tabs, as well as the plastic piston that usually comes stock with the 937 housing.

For what it's worth I have never ground the tabs off the pistons using this kit. I personally have never seen the plate get damaged as mentioned like we use to see with 700r4's for what it's worth. You might see little marks from the piston making contact however in my opinion not enough to effect the accumulator. However I use the same method as bro mentioned on the two different housings using either a single washer in the late housing or no washer using the early one. Good luck with the install. Vince
