I installed a transgo shift kit awhile back and didnt notice any differnce. I started with the recomended settings. The problem is you must take apart the trans to make adjustments. I did put a drain in my pan, so that made it ezer to do.

In any case, I drilled the holes out .010" bigger as recomended. I still cant tell any differnce. I'm not really looking for a big differnce. I just want the tranny to last. I was told this would help. But if I cant tell, Is it doing anything?

Another question. The fluied was very dark. Last time I didnt change the torque converter. (This time I did) So maybe it was leftover from then. What do you guys think.

Also for you guys that did the transgo. When you have the valve body off, did you scrape the gasket off the plate that was there? I left mine, but it wasnt in the best shape. Transgo didnt give me another.

 

I put one in my AOD and it made a huge difference. It shifts with authority and I even did the less extreme spring option. But to be honest I have forgot if a gasket came with it because it has been a while. I remember drilling a couple holes and installing a brass rod in the valve body, did you do that?

 

There were alot of springs to change, but there was no rods. I did everything they said in the instructions.

 

are there different kits?

 

Mine is a E40D. His a AOD. So I would expect some differnces.

 

mine is an aod....i meant different levals of kits...maybe you bought a stage 1 and he bought a stage 2?

Maybe your clutches are worn out so they are not grabbing like they should?

 

That could be. Sometimes my trans shifts perfect. Other times (espesialy when its hot out) it wont shift in to second unless I manually do it. (it wont do it in drive) Then when I shift to dirve, it will shift from second in to netral. So I shift back to second and back to drive and it will go to third. (and OD if needed) I was told this is dirt in the flued. It did this before I installed the shift kit also. Now that I changed the flued and filter twice, you would think I got the dirt out. But Its the same.

 

You say it only does it when its hot.....have you checked the cooling lines? and fluid level while its hot......

 

when was the last time the cooling system was flushed...not just drained and refilled...i learned this the hard way.

 

Helirich- I put one of the Baumann kits in mine years ago (93 w/E4OD). I have been very satisfied. I have had a transgo installed in my brothers Mustang gt / AOD. I did not like the HS gov portion of the kit because it caused the light throttle upshift to happen at too high rpm for the street. Tired of tires barking (never thought that would happen) when trying to pull into moving traffic at 1/2 - 3/4 throttle, especially if a pooolice is beside you!

Since we are all electronic shift, including gear selection, I wonder if somehow your MLPS is not adjusted right or malfuncitioning. All it is, is a bunch of resistors that tell the PCM what gear you want to be in. Might cause that mess of different gears engaging. I cant remember, but there may be gaskets under the different VB's. I will check my manual.

 

I did not flush the lines. I have checked the leval when hot. It could be the electronics because it seems to do it when the weather is hot, not the trans. Meaning it will malfucntion when I just started the truck on a hot day. But it wont do it on a cold day even after hard driving.

 

dont know im lost brother.....take it and have it checked for errors on the cpu....sorry couldnt help
