Default Trans Go install. How many washers?

I am getting my Trans Go shift kit installed on Wednesday. I was wondering with the mods I have and a Vig3200 would it be better to install 2 washers or 3? It seems that the majority of people use 2 washers.

Thanks.

Jim

I used 3 and liked it. That was with the Yank TP4400.

I've always used 3. Even w/out a converter. I have a strong neck. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I have 3 washers with my 2800 and the shifts are perfect.

if TM doesn't screw with you, you should go 3. i have 2 in my 2000 T/A with PI3200. you can really feel it, it's so crisp. i'll do 3 also when TM is GONE.

3 washer here...
Luv it! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

If the shifts bother you or your passenger (1-2 shift that is.. 2-3 feel 'normal') just use your own TM.
Just let off the gas a bit before the shift..
It works for me! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I installed 2 washers. It hit hard enought with my Y3200. Now with the PT4000 it is softer.

I had TM deleted by Ed Wright. How hard are the shifts with 3 washers. I drive the car everyday so I don't want to have it killing me with the shifts. It seemed like before everybody I asked was running 2 washers. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Is running 3 a better idea with the Vig. converters?

Thanks.
