Welcome to the sickness! LOL


Just buy a John Woods or BTS and then the mod isn't necessary!

Well went out and did this mod tonight been needing to drop the pan anyway to replace the trans control spring now the shifter slides into gear like butter

I seen someone used a 5/64 bit instead of 1/16 so I split the difference and used a #50 bit

Wish I would have known about this mod a while ago it shifts great now

Quick question for those who have done it when you had your valve body off if you tipped up on end back and forth could you hear what sounded to me like a spring sliding back and forth is that normal lol

if you don't mind posting them, or linking to them, I would greatly appreciate it! Don't want to re invent the wheel here.

Is there a replacement or upgrade product available today that matches, duplicates or improves on the "cure" ?

Thanks again!
