Default Trans Go Shift Kit

I tried a search, and couldnt find anything, but if there already is an answer to my question, I will apologize in advance. I just received my Trans Go shift kit today, and I was wondering if there is anybody here that has installed the shift kit themselves and how difficult/tricky was it? I have some automotive experience, but the last time I was into an automatic was about 10 years ago. If anyone on here can give me some pointers, or can just tell me to stop worrying and I could prob do it myself if Im careful, thta would be great. TIA.

I did a few, one on my camaro a few weeks ago....stop worrying
I went a little bigger than they instruct on the third gear feed hole and had the shift duration programmed shorter for the 2-3 shift at above 50% throttle.
Looks familiar doesn't it

I did mine on ramps. Followed the written directions in the kit. Worst was the changing of the part in the body of the tranny. Very narrow snap ring pliars needed. Of course I did not have a pair that fit in there, so I did mine with 2 straight picks. Yeah. Patience, a clean working area, shop rags. You can do it. If you are not that sure, read each step that you are working on a few times to get the comprehension to set in. Once you do it, you'll get the idea.
Oh...and do not have your finger in one of the holes when you pull the spring clips in the valvebody. They tend to hurt awful bad. I have a friend who can attest to that. He had is finger one of the holes, trying to not let the valve/spring fly out. It left a mark. LOL. Remember, patience.

If you got the video watch it once and follow
the directions on the paper the vid will have you
pulling things you have no business pulling

(If you got the sonnax pinless accumulators)
their directions on the 2nd accumulator
differ from the transgo
I used the 2 stock springs below and the orange
spring on top
