Default TransGo shift kit experts, please chime in

What can I expect hours-wise for an install of a TransGo Shift kit and the recommended aluminum pistons to replace the plastic ones in the transmission.

Is there anything else that needs to be firmed up when installing this? I don't want to install anything without the proper pre-emptive strikes on potential problems.

Thanks dudes?

Mod bug is bitting again, Vette is coming out of storage in a month.

And what are these aluminum pistons you speak of?

Oh, and Merry Christmas!

Your looking at taking valve body out, put on a table & change various components. Time wise would be about 4 hours. With increased line pressure you will want to remove plastic accumulator piston as these will crack.

I used HP Tuners to remove the torque management and up the presure. Wonder if I need to upgrade the pistons??

I am thinking this is the kit that RPM uses in the one,s that they do. Great group of guys up there. Give them a call and talk with one of the guys... I am sure they will sell you all the parts you need also...
