Allow it to nearly fully drain to avoid a huge mess (which is going to happen anyway, it's just saving you at least a little bit of a headache). Loosen the ones toward the back of the car more than the front so the fluid drips toward the long end of the pan. Raise the front of the car and begin loosening the 10mm bolts on the transmission pan.

There's also an optional spring used to firm up the 1-2 shift (usable with either medium or hard). The parts you need are determined by whether you want to do the medium (light street/strip) or hard (heavy street/strip) shift kit.

Requires dropping the bottom transaxle pan, removing the shift pressure accumulator, changing the transaxle filter, and refilling the transaxle with fluid. Synopsis: Install a shift kit utilizing shims in the transaxle shift pressure accumulator.ĭifficulty: 3/5. This is the exact same kit you get from vendors like W-body Store for less than half of the price. I'm simply giving you my twist on it, along with pictures and a more detailed write-up. TES-389 stuff is getting pretty hard to find as of June 2018.Ĭredits: This do-it-yourself method was originally pioneered by members of OKGPC, so they get full credit for coming up with it. Valvoline MaxLife and other Valvoline fluids seem to be Dex VI compatible now. Valvoline Dex/Merc is a good option for someone who wants to stay with Dex III. Alison TES-389 indicates it is compatible with the old Dexron III standard. I suggest using ONLY GM approved Dexron VI fluids OR A 'Dex/Merc' fluid that conforms to Alison TES-389. Fixed spacing.įree advice: Many transaxle fluids marketed as 'Dex/Merc' compatible have changed their formulation and do not conform to previous Dexron specifications.

Transgo Shift Kit Instructions Transgo Shift Kit instructions Transgo Shift Kit Instructions page 3 Transgo Shift Kit Instructions page 4 Transgo Shift Kit Instructions page 5 For that reason, I’ll post a copy of the instructions from Transgo Below:

It let me visualize what every step was that I needed to do.

In case I got transmission oil all over my only set and ruined it.

I scanned the instructions from Transgo as well. It is hard to see, but each of the valves contained within this body are held in by little clips, kinda like a C-clip This is the valvebody totally removed from the transmission. Secondly, get rid of the metal check balls and replace them with lighter “Ford torlon check balls.” These are a strong plastic that are resistant to wearing, yet they seal better than the metal balls and they don’t damage your check plate like the metal balls do. ***I want to add a quick note here, if your separator plate is damaged, buy a new one, they’re only about $25. I don’t think there was any holes they could fall into though so don’t worry, just make sure you find all 7 of them You know when you remove a part like say… the valvebody and just as you pull it off you hear all the check balls fall out and run around the maze like structure in front of you as you scream F*CK because you don’t know if they might fall into a blind hole?…ya, this is one of those times. Now that you’re this far, this is when things start to get fun. You don’t want to be breaking any of these wires. You’ve got to be very careful of the electronics in here. This is what you are going to see when you get the transmission filter out of the way.
