Trans question 86 shift points
I need to change my shift points from 5000 to 5500 is this possible and just how easy is it to do?
How much will it cost to do it?

The governor, located on the side of the trans, is easily altered to adjust the shift points. The hard part is knowing the correct springs and weights (in grams) of the unit. In other words, the labor is easy, but the correct combination of parts will be trial and error. Most guys who know, will not part with the info. B&M and others make adjustable shift point kits that contain a good assortment of springs and weights to get you started.

no, the governor on the trans is the only way with these units. the springs & weights determine the shift points. i hope mine are adjusted properly by mad dog. if not, then i guess i'll be shifting manually at the strip

So far it seems to be a good transmission.
