Here is a list of a couple http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...bd01f4b1089551

I believe the WS6store is a sponser on LS1tech...if not I am sure I will be hearing from a moderator soon.

I would go with the TRANSGO shift kit. The price is right and you will like the performance.

Yup, transgo HD2 is the way to go. Great mod and buy the way you describe what you are after 1 washer for firmness is the way to go.

I would let it go for $85 shipped. If Paypal is used, add 3% for fees. Let me know via PM.

I suggest you get pinless billet accumulators too. Foward billet, 2nd oem alloy with a longer runner, 3-4 billet.

The "modified" TransGo Shift kit has three new aluminum accumulator pistons with seals, hardened (RC52) forward & 2nd accumulator pins, new oem accumulator pin for 4th, Torlon checkballs, separator hole sizes to go with the torque converter, rear end gear ratio you are using, how you drive, etc.

In Australia there is a low/ no availability of this kit. Apols.

Just trying to give a heads up for the newbie on shift kits. Once u go to the trouble of taking it al out, might as well do it once the right way.

Do you have a stall converter? If you don't have a stall converter **** a shift kit and get a stall converter. Best mod I ever did on my stock LS1. Full bolt ons, full weight 200lb drive, 4400 stall, 2.73 gears and ET Streets took me into the 11s. 3500 stall w. a transgo HD2. If you wanted some more fun you could go w/ full manual valve bodies =)

Recommend you replace the seperator plate as long as you're going in there, ~ 20 bucks at local trans supply shop. Read this thread so you understand why I recommend it:
