Thank you.

 

Bumping this because I might be doing this in the next week or so.

 

Finally got it done yesterday. Wasn't all that bad. Had a couple close calls with some of the valve body bolts with almost rounding the bolts. Thankfully, the bolts that I couldn't loosen from underneath were ones that stayed in the valve body. I was able to put enough downforce to break the bolts loose and get them out.

Took me about 3.5 hours only because i was tripple checking everything torque and plugs.

And just for reference the check ball goes into the end of the trim valve then the little spring. I just used vaseline on the spring and stuck the ball on it then slid into the valve. on the diagram they provide, doesn't say the check ball, it is the © and there was no key or anything to say that it was the check ball or not.

Or I so that is what I hope, otherwise, I gotta tear it apart again. But it seems to be working just fine. Don't really notice a difference when the allison was warmed up. I did notice a difference when it was cooled down this morning.

 

I did my trans go install before i be came a member of this great site. Also nice write up from the op but here is a link to the site that i found when i was looking for info on how to do my truck. but this site shows you how to do a complete trans rebuild. The valve body mods are around 3/4 the way down. Hope this helps. Mopar65:drink:drink:drink

also when you get to the section about installing the trans go shift kit. you do not have to pull all the shift valves etc unless you want to, to do a full cleaning? i just drilled the plate and installed the A&B trim valves. hope that clears everything up? Mopar65

 

So, the Trans Jr. is a set of valves with springs and a set of ball and springs that are locked in place by a metal clip. NO one made it this clear. there are three sets of bolts to remove... that's looks very simple. Even the guy on previous pages on this topic didn't make it that clear. The other link that Mopar posted actually showed pics of the trans go jr and where they go... WOW.... Yeap I am ready to do mine....

 

Subscribed- still working the courage! Hoping to install in the next couple weeks.. Thats if it cools down.. 105 its hot out there :rofl

This is going to be the first upgrade I will make to my LML, can't wait to get at it

 

I didn't think the LML needed this kit? Maybe I am wrong.

well i finally worked up the courage to do it! i managed to finish in 4+ hours with a bit of a break in there too. fairly straight forward to install. thanks for the write up and links. without them i would have never known what to do.

 

So how does it shift now with the kit installed?? Is it worth the time?

 

Shifts nice. No difference really that I notice but it is must if your going to be adding any HP to the engine.

 

Cool, I haves trans-go that I haven't installed yet I also have EFIlive on my truck but I really never drive it on any level above two or drive it hard because I really don't have the money to fix a smoked transmission. So maybe my next question should be how much power or what level do you drive yours on?

 

I DD on my 110 tune. Transgo says it's good for upto 500hp.

nice right up!
Working up the courage myself, since I just ordered my EFI Live!

 

Just installed mine yesterday and have a question, how important is it to clip the wiring harness back onto the valve body? I completely forgot as I was freezing my butt off for about 6 hours installing and already filled the trans with fluid... do I need to drain and clip it back to the vb? Or can it wait a couple weeks so I can order more fluid?

 

Should be ok for a couple of weeks, but I wouldn't be off road and drive smooth surface only. The fluid will dampen the wire flex a little, but I wouldn't wait too long

 

Nice write up, sub'd. Winter project for me.

 

Just got enough courage today to tackle this transgo kit. Not really as hard as I was thinking. Granted, I just finished removing the stock downpipe and installing a diamond eye which is as bad as they say it is All in all it took around 3-4 hours and if I had to do it again maybe like 1.5 hrs. I do have a big question for you guys though. While I was removing bolts from the valve body I noticed that two bolts were missing near the pink plug in all by itself. Is that normal or something I need to worry about? As far as I can tell it has never been worked on. I bought it from the original owner with 25k miles on it. Also... I know I should have been paying more attention, but I'm not sure I put in the accumulators and springs in correctly. I filled her back up and went through the relearn process. Everything feels smooth and no issues, but I could use a little reassurance by the experts here.

 

I'll be back
