TransGo Kit
#1
![Question](https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
About 4 months ago I had a transgo kit and Pro Torque converter installed in my 47RE. Everything is fine but 4th gear is a much harder shift than the rest. They are all firm shifts but 4th seems too hard. Do those of you with the transgo kit experience the same thing? Is it perhaps because 4th gear ratio is .68?

I'm getting ready to install the same kit in my truck and I'm still looking for the video with the installation instructions that usually comes with the kit. Do you have the video that you could send to me, I'd provide postage? What did it cost to have someone else install it for you?

I have one here that is the Transgo TFOD-Diesel kit. It says it's for 46 & 47 RH and RE. It came with written instructions but no video. Cost was around $40 I think.

I really like my transgo shift kit. That is what a lot of the big name transmission guys base their valve bodies on. My trans has essentially the same valvebody as the bullydog truck, that ran on pinks. It only cost me $70.00. I bought another spring to make first gear shift right, but other than that, it is put together with parts from the transgo kit. I set it up a lot different than their instructions say to. I get about 180 PSI line pressure at full throttle, and 80 at idle.

I paid about $40 for the kit and written instructions through eBay. Transgo website says there is a video included if you buy it through them but it's a lot more. I was wondering how much it would be to have an experienced transmission guy install it. I'm a pretty good mechanic but there's ways to really mess this up so I'm gathering any and all info I can before tearing into it. Thanks for the replies.

No video with mine either, $38 on ebay. I dont notice a harder 4th gear shift as compared to the others, but i do notice that OD engages WAY too early and lugs the engine. No video required, install is simple. I called Goerends if I had any questions and they were happy to help even though I didnt buy it from them.

Anyway IMO, the install is not a cakewalk for the above reasons. Don't waste your time/money on the video. If you've put in a shift kit before and are a reasonably talented mechanic, I'd say go for the install yourself. If not, don't just let anybody with a trans shop do it, better to find someone who has done THIS ONE before.
