well, if they work the upper picture is your accumulator body, its the furthest foreword hunk of aluminum under your trans pan, remove it and flip it over,
top left piston is your line pressure valve, lower left is your 1-2 shift, top right is your 2-3 and lower right is 3-4.
ok the lower pic is the close up of the 1-2 and 2-3 valves where you need to locate the slight dimple in the aluminum, its the first rail at the output of the piston from the valve. the picture isnt the best but once in your hand you cant miss them, drill a 1\16 hole through each rail, the larger the hole the harder your shift will be, i dont recomend the hole that you see in the picture...lol, that is 3 sizes up from the 1\16, had that in my other truck and wow, what a shift that was, the 1\16 will give you a nice crisp shift at WOT. be extra careful not to egg the hole out when you drill it otherwise your shift may be harder than you like, drilling on a 45degree angle is the easiest to control, every trans is a little different so start small and egg very slowly until you get the desired shift,
i will be experimenting with the line pressure valve to see what i can come up with there and also by using the pcm to electronicly advance the epc, they are still in the trial stages so i dont recommend trying them yet, the drilling of the holes is 100% safe, i even ran it by ford motor companies field service engineer and he was very impressed by the results and could see no damage occuring from this mod unless you go crazy and grab a huge bit, the worse that could happen is break our flimsy 4 pinion aluminum foreward planetary set but then you upgrade to the 4r100 6 pinion forged steel, (direct bolt in) and you'll never have a problem again, but again that is worse case if you go with some massive hole like some idiot i know.......hmmmm what was i thinking?

Thanks alot there guys, Neal thanks I have found a lot of useful info here, great site. c00nehunter thanks for the pics and info, sine I'm rebuilding the trans I might as well put the 6 pinion in anyhow, do you think? anything else you guys might recommend putting in there right now.
joe, i finally got a good ear on your turbo when you let off and it sounds good. i will try to get a video of mine one of these days under full throttle
thats a bad video. i am using my camera to take the vids and with the window down all you get is wind and windows up its quiet, but the sound is very distinct and loud, a real head turner if you are outside of it
yeah, mine too. last year i used to mess with this one kid who drove a lancer evo with a turbo on it. of course he had the blow off valve and everything and my turbo when i let off of it at full throttle passing the auto tech shop turned his head every time and pissed him off royaly. at the end of the year he asked me, why is your blow off valve so loud?. LMAO.. i told him it has no blow off valve, then i showed him my turbo and his jaw dropped to the floor and he said that damn thing is way bigger than mine!!!! i just love diesel trucks!!!!
