[Stealthrida]

This kit is great! Costs $75 bucks from Tony @ Dunrite Converter. Just finished installing it, and the car shifts firmer, faster, and feels tighter. Besides that, it prolongs tranny life.

I think the hardest part of this install is getting the valve body off the car. Once you have it in front of you, and you look at the instructions, it all starts to make sense. The process of installation is basically tearing the valve body completely apart, cleaning, and re-assembling with a few different springs, drilling a few holes larger, making one hole smaller, and putting a very small 45 degree bevel on one of the valves. As long as you take your time, and lay everything out properly, you should have minimal difficulty.

There was one little problem I had(two different sizes to drill a hole depending on number of frictions plates on one, and the width of a band on the other), but I called the Translab Tech Hotline (Not toll free, but worth it!) and they helped me right through it. The guy was really cool, and even provided me with extra info. I feel like this kit is essential, and is DEFINATELY worth the money.
