How tough is it to install a shift kit on a 98 4L60e.

The only transmission experience I have is putting a
TH350 in my truck and putting the TQ Converter in the 98 Z28.

Does the whole Tranny have to come out to install a shift Kit?

 

Thats why the trans go comes with an install video.

 

if it takes a video to explain how to install ,that ought to tell you its HARD lol

 

Trans Go is harder. The TCI is simple. If you have no tranny exp. Get the TCI or have someone do a trans go.

 

my site has a full writeup on the tci shift kit...finished in about 10hrs by myself excluding hooking up the shift lever.

 

10 hours - man o man ...
Are the TCI and Trans Go close to being equal in Quality?

 

the tci is alot easier. and certainly as good maybe better.

 

i guess it was worth paying the $150 to have the transgo/cooler installed then. 10 hrs? You sure you didn't mean 1 hr? Shop rate was $75/hr so that meant 2 hrs for the transgo which has more parts and the trans cooler and mounting.

i thought that was fair since its a muss of parts

 

nope took about 10 hrs start to finish including picture time as well as posting a few questions on here about where things went and why certain things werent the same as in the pics...I'd never even changed my tranny fluid before so i didnt really know my way around that well...also I dont have a lift which im sure would help

 

when you gonna dyno that beast you have? I'm curious to see what she does with heads and that cam tuned? Any surging when she's locked up at 1000-1200rpm?

 

a transgo is a pita dad and i installed it on my 94 Z never agian will it happen we had the dam video playing while installing the kit

 

I did my Trans go myself and it was by no means an easy project. I had never did anything with an a4 before it would have took me about 3 hours to put the kit in but i messed up and it took 5 instead. I watched the video like 10 times, if your patient it can be done just take your time. I the Transo Go was worth the trouble I love the way it shifts.
