Is this true or is he full of crap?

Thanks!!
The hardware is in the trans. C3 releases and C4 applys for 6th gear. Valvebody is different. You do not have enough detents on your shifter for 6th gear.Computer has changed along with the comunication. NSBU swith is no longer as the new switch is internal and is only a nuetral switch now. NSBU was much more than just a nuetral switch. The whole strategy is different. It can be done for a lot of money and will require help from Allison.( which they won't give )
