Default Shift Kit install help!!

Have any of you installed it yourself? Is it pretty easy to install it yourself? I am going to install it this weekend and just wondering how hard it would be.



Thanks-
Al

If this your first "install", I would get someone who is familiar with this unit to help you out. It makes things that much easier.

I put a trango kit in a month ago and I took my time, watched the video and then tore into it.

They say in the instrucs that if the instrucs differ from the video, follow the instructs only and use the video as just a basic thing.

It was my first with the transgo kit and it went very well.

If you have any install questions just holler!

Which kit do you have? I have done a few transgo's and they're not that bad. Watch the video. The video will show you some basic things, but the details will most likely be different. Don't concentrate on the details of the video, just the overall thing. There may be some things that will not go back together exactly how they came apart. One example is that two of the pistons may get flipped over. Whatever the printed instructions say - do exactly that! Beings this is your first, I would set a piece of poster board on the ground or your workbench. When you lay your parts on the board, write little notes you want to remember about them. The main key to all of this is - MAKE SURE TO CLEAN EVERYTHING. Sorry for the long post, Good luck and let us know how you make out.
