Default I installed my shift kit

Well i dropped my pan and the fluid was kinda dark and burned up, i found a bit of grime on both magnets and also one broken up magnet in really rough shape. I'm guessing the tech at the dealer who rebuilt my trans seen this and said **** it lol.. figures. .
Also found my oem trans cooler line leaking slightly, guess it's time for a aftermarket cooler.

The bores of the accumulator were glazed, scuffed them up and installed the trans go springs and spacers.

Little over 8qt refill and took it for a spin. .. still getting a damn shudder or something under a decent load going 1 to 2. I'm guessing it's a valve body issue. Although i guess it could be my tune which I've never been happy with to be honest.

All in all another bitter sweet job well done, any ideas bounce them off me..

If you got the trans tuned you might wamt to have your tuner re adjust. The addidtion of the shift kit after a tune that raised line pressures will cause shudders and other issues
