Red face VALVE BODY MODS

IN THE PASS I SAW SOMETHING ABOUT DRILLING OUT SOME PASSES IN THE VALVEBODY . NOW THAT IS TIME TO DO MY TRANS I CAN'T FIND THE PAGES THAT I PRINTED AND OR THE POST THAT I FOUND THEM IN. GOING TO INSTALL A TUGGER KIT SHOULD I ALSO DRILL OUT THE VALVEBODY TO FIRM UP THE SHIFTS ?OR IS THAT PART OF THE TUGGER KIT

I am about to install a tugger kit myself but have not read through the instructions yet but I believe drilling is part of the whole deal. If I am not mistaken the drill bit you need is part of the kit. Best of luck on your install

Yes, there is drilling that needs to be done in the Valve Bodies (Main and Accumulator). There are bits for that included in the kit. They can also be used to drill the plate, but you'll probably need another one. I drilled my plate to the maximum sizes called for for the diesel application in the instructions.

The instructions are a little confusing, but take your time, and go step by step, one bore at a time. You'll get through it just fine...

Just stick to drilling the points indicated in the Transgo instructions. There have been others who really understood how a tranny works that drilled things without installing the Transgo (might have added the Sonnax modulator, can't remember) to address certain issues, but if you install the Tugger, just drill where it tells you to. You can't undrill a hole, so start simple and if you're not satisfied, search for the other thread again.

In a situation like a valve body, sometimes a lead rivet can work wonders!

Hopefully, you'll never need this tip!
