Hi-many many moons ago I added the MP P4349469 shift improver kit to a 727 I installed in my '76 D100 behind a 360. IIRC it contains a modified front servo, a blocker rod for the accumulator, and a spring for the rear servo? It was installed in conjunction with a 5.0 front band lever into a basically stock transmission I salvaged out of a Cordoba. Been so long ago that I can't even remember what it shifted like. Still have the transmission sitting around-I'm thinking about salvaging the stuff and installing it into a BB case 727 I'm going to rebuild to go behind a mild 400 in my '74 Charger, and installing the Transgo TF2 kit at the same time? So the question for the tranny gurus is-good or bad idea to combine these parts?
Thanks in advance
Jason

What effect will the accumulator blocker rod have in conjunction with the increased line pressure the shift kit provides?
Thanks

Transgo used to supply a blocker rod with the TF-2 kit but they don't anymore, it makes the 1-2 upshift pretty harsh. Some like it that way, others............

Guess there's only 1 way to find out right? Good thing the purchase price of the kit has been amortized over 25 years as it appears at the end of the day I may use none of it!
Thanks
