Thumbs up

I too am considering a TC change early next year, I should be going with the Yank 3000, with a 2.0 STR, and from all the information I am gathering I WOULD go with the transgo shift kit, to firm up the shifts. From my understanding the transgo will increase line pressure, however the kit is mechanical, and it beefs up the transmission to take the increased line pressure. I would stay away from any electrical shift firmer, like B&M and the SLP unit, also my understanding is that using an HPP3 to firm up the shift points increases the line pressure, however opposed to the transgo, it does not beefup the transmission any.

JMHO
