Default how to switch vb?

is it simple? just drop pan undo some bolts put the suncoast in? there alot of little pieces to put in and take off? and the tranni was just rebuilt not to long ago so when i put this vb on and put in the 5 plate will it be good? or will it take out the stock tc ( witch was replaced with the rebuild) then get a better tc and be good?

your stock converter is really the weak point

well when that tc starts slippin, it generates alot of heat, which will burn the ATF and it will not lubricate or cool like it should so it can wipe out everything. you might want to look into a converter even before the vb

also when puttin the vb in use an inch pound torque wrench make sure that the accumulators springs dont fall out and get mixed up if you dont torque it right u can warp the valve body so if you can do it but if this sounds like it is a little more than u can handle take it to a pro
