Transgo (Washer) Update

I was just wondering if anyone could post a picture of the washer and the new instructions as to where it goes. I just received my kit and its not the updated version. I just called transgo and they were helpfull but might as well been talking in another language, I need pictures.

Thanks
Jesse

I don't have any pics but I know that it works great! We did it to my dads truck and it shifts perfectly now, no more 1-2-1 or 2-3-2. Transgo is a very good kit.

Transgo kits are usually verry good.
Transgo instructions are not so good.

There is no comparison, many times that transgo kit causes bindup......most people don't have a clue. All of Dave's VB are dyno tested to work right, the kit.........You get what you pay for!!

So McMopar, did you happen to notice what was the title of this thread? Would you care to help the OP, or are you just itching to display your vast knowledge of VB tuning?

Well the kit went in yesterday, very time consuming but worth it in the end. I was on the fence for along time to do this or not. So far I really like it, the trans seems so much tighter, and the shifts are quick but dont slam into gear. Got rid of the 2-3-2 shifts, which was the whole reason to do it.

I liked the Transgo kit I installed in the '98 until it roached the tranny... a shift kit is a good way to kill a tired tranny (245K miles).

That doesn't sound like obvious cause and effect to me. I'd list the number of things that that factor into transmission failure at 240k miles, but don't have enough time for that right now.

Anybody can build something to fail.
