Assorted Transmission questions... Beginning to mod in this direction.
 

Hello, I own a 91 Firebird L03 with the 700R4...

I have done a few upgrades to the car to help the engine breathe, and stiffen the suspension, so I am now looking to firm up the shifts the right way, and want to learn a bit more about what I am doing first...

1. I am getting a jet stage II chip that will control torque convertor lockup... What does this mean?

2. I want to get my hands on a transgo high performance shift kit, where can I find them, and for how much?

3. I have heard a lot of good things about installing corvette's smaller diameter piston & housing, what all does that do?

4. What is the difference between a regular, off the shelf dextron III transmission fluid, and a fluid like B&M's trick shift fluid?

Thanks for looking at all of these questions,

Clint

Skip the 'special' oils. Use quality Dexron oil and you will be fine.

Thanks for the reply, those prices surely beat what the dealer offered.
