Any 4l60e Shift Kit Dos and Donts?
I have a 4l60e and am about to install a Transgo HD2 shift kit, and both billet servos for the 1-2, 2-3, 3-4. Any dos and donts advice for what to drill, what size to drill, what transgo servo parts from the kit to integrate into the other new servos? I could really use a lot of advice, explanation and experiences. Thanks in advance for any help.

Don't use any spacers in the accumulator unless you have a high stall; drill the separator plate one size above stock where the directions say to. I got the Trans Go hardened separator plate and it was already drilled but I had to enlarge a couple of the holes because I went with the middle step.
The instructions are fairly easy and its a lot of fun to do; at least for me it was.

The spacers firm up the shift. Since you have a stall (which will soften the shift) I'd install 1 spacer. Any more than that and it'll shift eyeballs splattering against the windshield hard.
More fluid flow; it will also firm up the shift from what I understand. Most of the time these shift kits are done they're set up fairly mild to keep from breaking hard parts. Its listed in the directions but I think 1 size up from stock is street/strip and 2 is race or something like that. Its been a while since I looked at them.
Another thing; read the directions cover to cover several times before starting and it'll make your life a lot easier. Not to mention.......keep track of those checkballs! A lot of people end up losing one; including me, but I took one out of the case for the reverse and used it so it was ok. Make sure you have some Vasoline on hand for re-installing them too so they won't fall out.
They're not hard at all. I don't recommend it for a novice but if you have a basic grasp of mechanical know-how its not bad. A little time consuming but not difficult.
I think their may be a write up on here somewhere on the install if you do a search. I want to say it was Tootall.

Pretty easy install. I'd drill out the 1-2 with the bigger drill bit and the other ones like the instructions say.
Make sure you have some extra epc screens around incase you break one or both.
You should also change out your 1-2, 3-4 and fwd plastic accumulator pistons with pinless aluminum ones. Definatley get the hardened seperator plate as well.
