Can someone explain the hole drilling thing with the shift kit install?
Bigger hole=harder shift? or what

You got it ...

In the shift kit install they have you enlarge some existing holes in the seperator plate with supplied bits. They say for huge stalls and race applications use the larger hole set. For all others, use the smaller set.

oh BTW i am runnin a beefed up trans with a heavy duty TCI servo, and a HD2 TransGO Reprogrammable shift kit
it rocks!!!!

what exactly does a beefed up trans consist of?... would the tranny shop know what to do?.. and how much would this cost?..

Hardened parts throughout, good clutches, better steels ... it all adds up quick. It can easily jump up to about 2k easy.
