I tried searching the forums but dont see any information about this kit. I will be installing one in my 1980 F350 DRW, 400, C6, 4.10 gear. Engine C/R 9.2 according to machine shop, XE262 cam, headers, 1.5" dual exhaust. I have read the instruction for the kit and I am just wondering if anyone has any realworld information about which springs to use, ect. Truck will be used for general hauling to the dump, some daily driving. I dont have a travel trailer to haul or cars to tow. Hell, I didnt even get much of a chance to drive it before I had to pull the engine due to rear main seal leak. I had an 86 F250 351w C6 awhile ago that seemed to be a soft shifting rig. I figured that since trans is on the shop floor I would install this kit.

 

Might help if we knew what levels the kit has that can be used.
From what I remember think most kits had 3 levels that could be installed.

Converts most 1977-on gas valve bodies into a diesel valve body

Note: When converting a gas valve body for diesel use a .410 or .437 Pressure regulator boost valve must be used. Many gas valve bodies have this size.

Features:

• Raises overall line pressure
  • Calibration for a higher speed manual low
    • Crisp shift performance and more durability

Corrects/Prevents/Reduces:

• Early or soft shifts
  • Stacked shifts
    • Bogs on hill

I installed a B&M shift kit in the C6 of my Bullnose truck. Here's the thread I posted:

I'd suggest going with the mildest setting with the shift kit. No need to try for tire shredding torque if you haven't done any other upgrades to your truck. Also, make sure you get a high quality transmission pan gasket and an o-ring for the transmission dipstick. MAW do it right and do it once.

 

I used a lot of trans go kits when i worked on transmissions, several years ago, and even subscribed to the Gil Younger / Mister shift tech hot line for a while.
I spoke to him once and he was an interesting guy to visit with, and opinionated to say the least, but his kits were the absolute best of the best, and maybe still are.
Since I have not stayed up with trans work and am not involved in this anymore, so I cant speak to that with certainty
As far as I remember there is only one option on the SK6 kits, (except for the diesel option) as all of their stock kits were intended to reprogram the trans and fix known issues and short comings that stock transmissions had from factory.
These kits did just that, and did it really well, but these stock reprogramming kits would not make a dash pounding race transmission.
At the time, they did offer more aggressive off road or race kits, but I personally never used one in a C6, only in a C4.
I have used the stock SK6 kit and added to that a B & M kit, that come with a new valve body separator plate, and modified the valve body, per instructions in both kits, and modified clutch drums, sprag clutches and, and the intermediate band servo, to build a hard shifting dash pounder that worked its butt off, in several heavy tow rigs and farm trucks that I built them for.
Long story short, if properly installed, these kits will bring a smile to your face every time you drive your vehicle. Follow the kit instructions to the letter, and dont tighten the side cover plate bolts until the valve body halves are torqued in the correct sequence. The kit, will supply the tightening instructions.

Best regards,

 

I actually looked this kit up on google. Like was said above, it does not have any different levels to it. It just turns a ordinary gas c6 transmission into one that was setup for a diesel application.
