Upon first looking at the directions it can be intimidating, but once you climb in you see the light. The kit overall was very easy to install. For everyday driving the yellow one works fine and does not annoy me. It shifts firmer than stock but I am told that the orange spring would make them a little harder. On that last piece where you have to match the numbers to the color of the spring I used the yellow spring. I went and found new ones at a local rubber and hose shop and bought 3 just to make sure I was good for $1. Also, I had to cut the o-ring on the piston cover to get the cover off. I never used the larger one.įor doing the 2nd piston upgrade I had to dent the heat shielding on the passenger side of the floorpan to get the pieces out. I drilled all the holes using the small drillbit. It was the PWM and cost $22 at a local transmission shop. One of mine was already cracked and the fitting for the plug came off while on the bench. So far it seems to be working for me.īe careful with the solenoids while you have the vb sitting on the bench. I called Transgo and spoke with a tech who said he had never heard of that many but to just go ahead and put the 7 back in using vaseline to hold them in place. Upon getting the valvebody onto the bench I discovered that I had 9 check balls as compared to the instructions saying there were supposed to be 7. It took me about 8 hours to do the install but I stopped several times to go buy parts and eat lunch. I used the orange box for the 4l60e, which I found on ebay for $40 with shipping. High mileage vehicles sometimes come in with codes P0841, P0871, P0988, P1775 and P1776 due to wear at the solenoid switch valve bore in the valve body.I just put a Transgo shift kit in my 2002 S10.Self-expanding Tuff™ underdrive seal and expander wire.Drop-in USA-made hardened steel TC regulator valve and calibration spring.Drop-in USA-made hardened steel PR valve and calibration spring.(4) High temperature accumulator seals and expanders (for aluminum accumulator pistons only).Non-Shrinking low/reverse piston housing gasket.Delayed or no forward or reverse due to converter drain-back.Lastly, the kit also includes accumulator spacers to make the releasing clutch exhaust faster, resulting in shifts that are shorter and cleaner. The kit also includes a low/reverse piston housing no-shrink gasket as well as TransGo engineered accumulator piston seals and expander wires (for use with aluminum accumulator pistons only) and the special tuff seal for the underdrive clutch piston. Furthermore, the longer lands increase bore longevity by redistributing the load over a greater surface area. Both the redesigned drop-in steel PR valve and TC regulator valve, feature longer lands which restores the hydraulic integrity of the circuit by utilizing previously unused and therefore unworn areas of their bore. The kit includes a drop-in hardened steel pressure regulator valve as well as a redesigned TC regulator valves for a quick no-hassle install. TransGo engineered a special gasket for this application made from a non-shrinking material. The delayed engagement forward or reverse and the 2-1 coast downshift clunk is an age associated complaint that sets in when the low-reverse piston housing gasket shrinks and begins to leak. The kit provides a specially designed tuff seal and expander wire to address this complaint. The 4-3 coast clunk is the result of a malfunctioning underdrive clutch inner piston seal. Then there are the internally generated complaints. The new USA made drop-in pressure regulator and TCC regulator valves with extended lands will resolve these complaints without reaming or machining the bore. The TCC slip or shudder, code P0740, overheating as well as the converter drain-back complaints are associated with wear in the pressure regulator valve and TCC regulator valve bores. Common complaints with this transmission are TCC slip or shudder and P0740, overheating, delayed forward or reverse, 4-3 coast downshift clunk as well as 2-1 coast downshift clunk.įirst, we have the valve body generated complaints. TransGo 42RLE-VLP SHIFT KIT® Valve Body Repair Kit fits 2006 and newer Chrysler, Dodge, Ram and Jeep vehicles equipped with the A604, 40TES, 41TES, 41TE and 42RLE transmission with variable line pressure solenoid and sensor.įor models without the VLP solenoid and sensor, you need # SK 604.
