Question circle d 3200.. To transgo or not to transgo?

i plan on putting a circle d 3200 in my crew cab in my sig in the next month or so. since im gonna pull the tranny do i need to do the transgo hd shift kit also? or just pull the pan and change the filter and fluid. i have a corvette servo, and some added line pressure via hp tuners. will i see a little longer life possibly putting a trans go in or is it not worth messing with?

thanks,
steve

Line pressure back to stock, do transgo, 0 out shift times, abuse mode off, tranny cooler, and you will be set.

It depends, if you didnt bump the pressure up much, you may be fine. Also watch how many shims you put in the accum.....I wouldn't do 2 unless you want your dash to break off on the 1-2 shift...lol I would go with 1 shim.

how long does it take to install one of these kits? I'll be pulling my trans soon to add a stall converter but can't afford to have my truck out of commission for very long.

They are really easy to do. I can do one in probably about 2 hours or less after dropping the pan. The hard part is removing the exhaust and getting the pan down but if you pull the trans out its a piece of cake.
