TransGo install questions..
TransGo install questions.. Tranny if out of the car and I plan on installing the transgo kit in a couple of weeks. My main question is, do I actually turn the tranny over and lay it on its back so the pan is sticking straight up in the air to work on it? Wouldnt all the metal shavings from driling fall down into the tranny>?
Any pre-install suggestions that I couldnt find in a search?
NOTE: I will be getting the modified kit from pro built.
THanks

supplied instructions are junk.

I'll read it if you write it... instructions with mine -were-
pretty light, and the video does me no good once I'm
under the car. In fact, all the video did for me, was make
me close the box back up.
If the VB comes out to do the work, I wonder if somebody
like Pro-Built wouldn't be well off to just sell done-up valve
bodies (core+kit+reman labor) saving the attention-span-
challenged among us that hassle. Like get rid of all bench
work, just a 3 connector, 8 bolt swap job with no counting
parts & holes? I'd go for that.

I have noticed the instruction sheets change a lot. I put in a few of the same kits and every sheet was different.
install well im going to install mine today.
ill take pics while im doing it.
if i didnt work as a tech in the past i would find the written instructions
frustrating! they are almost like watching the guys on 2 guys garage
i never messed with a 4l60e but i have rebuilt many Mopar a727 tf
and ford aod's i wonder if the tape or instructions were different on the older
kits. With my pics and suggestions from people here you will either be
confused as F*** or hopefully get yah spinnin in the right direction..
wow i must be getting old im looking forward to getting away from the wife
and installing a shift kit and taking install pictures on new years eve.
i allways said i wouldnt get married and i wouldnt have a kid but i did both.
now i cant afford mopars anymore.. oh well i think my ls1 is faster anyways

If you get under there and pull the pan and the valve body, the instructions will make much more sense. I was very frustrated just staring at the instructions, but once you get under there and actually have the valve body in hand, it's not too bad.
BTW, I had my shift kit sitting in my hatch for about a year before my trans took a dump. After my cam, I had some tranny problems, so I finally pulled the pan and took a look at the valve body. Once it's right there in your face the instructions come together for you.
