Transgo Jr.

Since you've not had a tuner on it already. I'm sure your clutches are in good shape.

Talk to the Vendors here, I'm sure they can fix you up with some good prices.

Yep.

The Jr. Under $200 i think. Easy Install.

And If you get bored you can always add a tranny pan, doesnt do tons on a stock tranny, but still does something and gives you something to do to your truck.

what exactly is the trasgo jr kit and how hard is the install? im pretty concerned about doin tranny work to tell yall the truth :(

what are the advantages of having like a deep pan? all i can figure out is that they increase the fluid capacity but theyre kinda expensive imo

I was in Reno for a show last weekend for Street to Sand and they are set-up for HP tuners...its inexpensive and he can get rid of the torque managment and get you to 22mpg with a 120hp tune

It's a valvebody mod. Therefore you don't to have to drop the whole tranny, just the vavlebody. Added springs and a few other goodies for more holding power. Better start saving for the big upgrade. It only get's more addictive...

The install of the Transgo Jr. isn't bad at all. When Chad and I did mine it took us about 2.5 hours total. Nothing really hard about it. You just have to take your time so nothing gets mixed up or dropped and lost. Definetly worth the money. I believe they retail for around $140.00. They are perfect for the guy that wants to run a mild tune. Hope this helps.

To install the transgo, you have to drop the valvbody. There is a few little BB sized balls that you put in, and a couple of springs. Its easy just dont get too curious with stuff.
