We put one in Gmclbz's truck a couple of weeks ago and it was a piece of cake just gotta take your time and be clean follow the instructions and tq specs and it will be an easy job, i haven't drove it yet but being a passenger and from what he tells me the shifts are much firmer than stock. DD

It shifted better and handled the power I dumped on it really well. My truck was heavily modded and there was no issues at all. If you need help with the install let me know, I would be more than happy to help you when you get ready. I have a garage and plenty of tools and I am right outside Houston...
It will drive nice, that install is simple and it will hold pretty much what you can throw at it..

I might take you up on that once I get it back from the bodyshop

this is an old thread but decided to post on it anyways. so i'm about to buy a programmer should i get one of these even if i'm plannin on getting a suncoast kit?(which will be a good ways down the road...) and will it handle a +220hp tune?

I dont know if it will handle the 220 tune, but it would be a good idea to get it, because if ya want to run it on a higher tune and get on it a little bit then you dont have to worry as much.

The transgo Jr. is only for the six speeds, they are stronger stock. The transgo is what we need in our 5 speeds and will come with that suncoast stage IV kit. The transgo shift kit is not as easy of an install the trans has to be removed so you might as well wait and build the whole thing while your at it. Just the shift kit will only help so much the converter is still weak and wouldn't hold up to that kind of power very long.

He Changed his DIC (Driver information Center) with EFI Live. As for the transgo shift kit for your 5 spd.. I would NOT flog on it with any tune over about 70hp, even with the Transgo.
The 5 spd trans is not quite as tough as the spd IMO..
Drive easy, and save up some $$ for the whole trans and EFI live.. then you can flog all you want.
