Do a search for them on here. Transfixleo and many others swear by it and won't use other brands. In his words "it's the only TRUE shift kit, and fixes the problems with the 700R4".

The kit I would recommend is the Trans-Go Performance Shift kit with the accumulation kit. This will give nice part throttle shifts along with firm WOT shifts. Nobody else offers this. If I can help give me a call at 800 7763288 M-S 10-6 PST or go to my website www.pro-built.net about this.

I just put one of Pro-Builts shift kits in and it feels really nice. Quick shifts instead of the delayed shifts.

My web site has all the details what you need to do to install it. I was able to it do with no prior transmission knowledge at all.

Well you said good and bad, well here is the bad.

I installed the Transgo shiftkit that comes with the nice instruction video and had, and am still having problems.

I lost 1st gear
It wont shift from 2nd to 3rd gear at WOT
and it wont downshift from 4th to 3rd at WOT

I have redone and rechecked this thing, removed some componets, reinstalled them so many times now I can't begin to add the number of hours I have spent on this thing, talking with the techs at Transgo and with no change. I am strongly concidering uninstalling the kit in order to get 1st gear back. There are many people on this board who have had good luck with it, just be warned, its not a panacea.

Only good thing that has come out of it is I now have a great excust to convert to a T-56

I personally won't touch another Transgo product again, but thats just me.

Good luck with whatever you decide,

Chris
