The TSB is not sure fix for your problem. But if you end up doing the repair over a replacement, Ask for the old parts. Don't tell the shop that they just drill a bigger hole in the boost plate. Because you want the old parts. By law those parts are yours. If you end up replacing the transmission, find out what your warranty is for the reman trans. Its a tough choice. I can only share the information i have.

It does fix some of the problems. But if it doesn't, that doesn't mean you need to replace the transmission. Just means you need to go further, maybe a torque converter and pump and seal kit. You can do the TSB without replacing the boost plate. All you need to do is remove the valve body and remove the boost plate and drill a 1/8 hole in the plate. And then do a stall test with the DRB3. If the engine stalls, then the problem is fix. As far as transmission fluid, I would only use ATF+4.
But the question is at that point should I have just replaced the transmission? The TSB costs $450. The transmission will cost me 2 grand.
