Is this a good budget setup?

I will be installing my SS3600 Yank soon and I figured while I have the trans out I might as well do some preventative "maintence". I am thinking about adding :

Transgo HD2 kit
Sonnax 2nd and 4th Servos
Sonnax Pinless Accumulator pistons
and maybe Transgo Vacuum Modulation.

I already have a B&M Trans cooler (24K) and I see about ~125 degree temps coming out of the cooler. Is this a good setup for a DD car? I do not abuse the car one bit and it will maybe see the track 2-4 times a year. Trans has 63k on it all original and in excellent condition IMO.

Persoanlly I probably wouldnt bother with the transgo modulation but other wise sounds good I would stay on the lighter side on the shift kit use the smaller hole sizes and one or no spacers in the accumulator since the trans internals Im assuming are stock and the sunshell in particular with very agressive application dosent hold up very well and the stock band in the same way with the large servo is known to pull through the band lug hole particulary when set to shift very agressive , Stay with moderation there and you should be fine

Since the trans is going to be apart, you might consider "The Beast" sunshell.
It's only $52 on eBay.

Thats a good idea but based on the list he had I assumed he didnt plan on going any deeper than the VB and SERVOS

I would do the sunshell but doesnt that require taking everything apart pretty much?

Thats what I thought, and there is no sense in taking everything apart just to replace one peice, if my trans is ever fully apart its getting new everything.
