Hello All,
Was curious on the complexity/difficult(ness) of performing the modifications of a 727 valve body with a, for example, TransGo TF-1 kit. I'm looking to tackle something like this on a stock 727 valve body. Any videos out there? From the looks of it, the kits are very simple with minimal parts..

Thanks.

Although it looks simple, the best kits can be very complex. The best kits require drilling holes in parts etc. I had enough problems, even having the trans builders do the work, with kits that I finally added it up. You are money ahead to call Turbo Action, ask for thier manual/auto valve body and install the whole thing! Believe me, they have done thier homework and it results in the best shifting 727 I have ever owned. From your screen name, it sounds like you have a very nice and expensive car. A "trans kit" caused me to have to pull and replace a 727 after the car was together, painted etc. Do you really want to know the cost of a "kit" vs. a valve body?

If you have reasonable mechanical skills and can read, you can install the Transgo kit...unfortunately their instructions are less intuitive than they were years ago.

I would choose a reprogramming kit over a valve body because the kit deals with the valve body and the case whereas most valve bodies don't address the shortcomings in the servos.
