Smile Sonnax Installed

Just Installed The Sonnax Valve And Tricumulator Springs Today
Recieved Them During The Week While I Was Out Of Town.
I Was Leary Of Doing It Because I Currently Run With A Scmt That Already Has Some Line Pressure Increase Therefore Having The Possibility Of Too Firm Of Shifts.
However........this Kit Performs Very Very Well. I Can Tell A Difference In The Shifts And They Are Not Too Firm. Pretty Smooth Actually.i Am Glad I Did It.
It Was So Easy To Do. Only Took A Couple Of Hours And That's Because I Took My Time. Also Changed The Tranny Filter And Went Back With New Fluid. Only A Small Small Amount Of Sludge On The Magnet. Could Not Be More Pleased.

That seems top be about everyone's reaction to having done it.

I'm still very pleased I did it. After time, you tend not to notice the shifting any more than "normal".
