Default Transgo HD2 kit - unused parts?

what did you not use in the kit? I'm headed over to the parents house. Just asking before I get into everthing.

I'll post up some pics later on too.

Cool

Some of the parts are only meant to be used if you take the trans apart more than dropping the pan and removing the valve body. Read the instructions carefully before you start and everything should be apparent to you. If not then read them again! Some of the settings are personal preference. Read up carefully or the shifts may end up being too harsh and hard on the hard parts in the trans. Someone will fill you in on the details but make sure you read and understand all the directions before you open it up.

From what others have posted, I would probably put everything on the lowest setting there is to start to see how you like it so you can always change it later (can't change anything once you drill it bigger)...

Unless you have a big stall converter I would leave the washers in their little plastic bag, otherwise you could end up losing a few teeth.

My buddy broke one of the screens on his too, it was the one that Transgo reccomends drilling and putting the spring in. He left that screen out

well I broke off a tab that's on the smaller one. Did you put the wire "brace" in the larger screen?

I had trouble getting the boost valve out. The snap ring came off with a fuss, but once it was in the "free" position, there was a ledge that it was hanging up on. I spent about 15 min upside down trying to file it down and gave up. I left the stock valve in.
