I BOUGHT THE Tri_cumulator spring and piston kit for my valve body, i think it was like 70.00. Shifts firm.

The Tricumulator setup is great, can easly be done in under a hour, you will get much firmer\quicker shifts, makes tranny last a lot longer! I made my own setup, read the post abover yours, it's (modded my tranny)

Don't get the firm valve, I got the hard valve and it could be a little harder.
