00 4x4 Automatic Reprograming

I was curious if they made a shift kit or if there was a way to change the behavior of the transmission and torque converter to promote less converter slip and firmer shifts. It is a 3.0 flex fuel eith the 4 spd. auto (I think). Thanks.

TransGo makes a shift kit for the 4R/5R55E tranny: http://www.txchange.com/sk.htm

I believe you can install a computer chip that affects the way your tranny shifts, as well.

Has anyone used one of these? Just curious how well it worked. Did it reduce the converter slip as well? Thanks.

I found this thread last night. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...ht=shuft+kits+ It explained alot. How expensive is the transgo kit? I can't find a price online anywhere. I found a Superior kit on Ebay for $35 plus shipping, but I have never heard of them.
