  • TransGo Shift Kit 1998+?

    I ordered a kit from Thunder Racing listed as working on all vehicles to 2002, but on the box it only lists up to 1997.

    My question is, was the 4L60E changed at all between 1997 and 2000, and will the kit need to be adapted?

    <ANTI-FLAME DISCLAIMER>
    I understand that I will see no performance gains from the shift kit, and that my transmission will explode in 5,000 miles after it is installed. Thanks.

    it worked in mine... as far as I could tell the valve body and servo assembly were the same...

      LOL, I guess that disclaimer's why Evan didn't respond to this.

              The servo is sold seperately.

              You should do them both at the same time. You can do the servo alone but it is not reccomended.

                Sweet, thanks for the responses. I ordered the servo too (can't go wrong for the price. I got it for like $17.50).

                    Why do you think that your tranny will explode after 5k miles. my mechanic told me that they would help some parts wear less, like the clutches, and some parts would wear a little more, like the actuall gears. What does everybody think about a shift kit. I really really like a firm shift. ;)

                      I don't. It's sarcasm.

                      YounGDeezY, I got the servo from http://www.pro-built.net -- I just checked and it's actually $22.55 not $17.00. I could have sworn it was cheaper when I ordered it, though? Maybe they raised prices. ;)

                          did you guys do the install yourselves or did you have it done. If you payed someone for it, what did they charge. Im interested and have been for a while. But my cash flow is limited.
