Got it back from the shop on Friday afternoon and wanted to drive it for a day or two before reporting to the media (you guys).

So far it is wonderful. I honestly can't even notice the difference between the stock 1800 stall and the 2300. I had the shop use the tow/haul option in the shift kit for 1st to 2nd and the street/strip for the rest (as per instructions from PATC). It shifts great and there's an amazing difference going from slipping between all gears and this. Also, apparently my reverse drum and band were shot, so those and a few sensors/solenoids were replaced.

 

Great! That should eb the end of any tranny worries!

Had a local shop install?

 

Yeah, a shop next to the automotive college nearby.

 

Congrats FD. You should have just bumped your original thread, then people would follow better.
