FWIW the truck had 15,000 miles on it when i build the tranny , it was like new still

 

our shop uses the transgo shift kit in all our transmissions i cant complain they work xtremely well hope yall get this figured out chad certainly does

 

You may use Transgo kits, but there's alot more to an aftermarket valvebody than a shiftkit friend. Not to mention, your purchasing somthing with a warranty, your also purchasing a tested product. Most of the DIY customers we have wouldnt be interested in installing their own shift kit. For Instance, Suncoast is a Transgo Dealer. They install transgo shift kits and valves in most of their valvebodys BUT after pressure checks, shift point checks and so on there's alot more involved than putting a shift kit in. Do you know how many times the average person will remove and install a the pan to acheive the same shifts that the aftermarket valvebodys offer? I'd say atleast 4.

 

oh believe me i know i have seen it all at my shop i have an ats trans and tc i love it im am just saying that thier is more bang for your buck with that shift kit

 

You do need to add the cost of a tranny guy installing and adjusting the tfod , brain did all the ones im talking about. if your doing it your self it would be easier to buy one already done , it depends on the cost

 

Most good valvebodys (for discussion sake) are say $400-$500. Some are less. But You figure the $150.00 shift kit, Having it properly installed, the cost of them changing the fluid, and possibly needing adjustment again. This is a project any DIY guy could do in an afternoon.

I agree that for alot of people the shift kit would work great, but the would atleast need a good report on the installers previous customers .

 

Most of the people are going to have there bands tightened and ect when the shop installs the TFOD its good practice

 

You wouldnt belive what some shops really do .

 

I will agree with ya Chad on the Torque Shift Trans. My 04 6.0 with the SCT shifted like a built dodge trans with nothing more than a SCT.

The ProLoc setup is designed for racing applications. So I could see where the shifting would be to radical for ya.

 

well i guess my opinon didnt me anything i just use transgo products and was hoping that the next user that read this would have a deterining factor on what kind of shift kit they were going to buy
