Did you try the manage attachments option? You should be able to upload them on to here from there

I hate to bump a topic this old, but I was searching for something else entirely and stumbled across it. Out of curiosity, is blowing seals (as a result of turning up the tranny as you described) a problem that would be addressed by adding a VB/shift kit? Or would the shift kit negate the need to make these adjustments in the first place?

i have never nor have i ever heard of blowing the seals out of these trannies unless the line bressure is bogus! factory scarf cut seals in the servos can be upgraded with oringed servoes along with some other seals but you will not have a issue blowing seals unless you are playing with the VB for extreme pulling conditions and such. or you overheat the hell out of it, then seals will fail.
