    I would just go on there website and order directly from them.


    As for the the shift kit level, I'm not sure what you mean, I would just follow the write up for the shift kit install and do it like they did it.

    Yes you have to email Triple Edge with what you want to order. I have their kit. I haven't got to install it yet but it looks of very high quality.

    The trans go kit is nice. Definitely recommend it. Follow the instructions for it and you are set.

    TEP sells the Transgo kit. Instructions should be with it. If you guys need them posted, I should be able to as I have one sitting here.

    Making your own is simply shimming the accumulator pistons. The transgo kit comes with shims, springs etc etc. It's a much better thought out kit. I've run both shims and the full kit and my preference is a full kit.

    I'm not a trans guy either. But if you read that paperwork and take a look at the parts they mention, it's pretty straightforward once you strap on a little confidence.

    In the transgo kit there should be new springs and shims. You replace the parts as suggested. I'm really tired and not remembering everything perfectly at the moment. Can you scan the directions and we can go through them together.

    Ya they're at home though. I got the more indepth 89.00 kit due to it saying it would be better for a aging trans.

    Transgo SK4T65E Shift Kit $64.95 We have been using these Transgo shift kits since they came out for the 4T65E and they significantly help to keep shift times shorter and not sloppy as most stockers feel. There are some rebuild tips and a few upgrade parts included as well as new accumulator springs and spacers.

    Transgo SK4T65E Shift Kit Combo Kit $89.95 This is a kit that we recently started to offer for those who are interested in installing a Transgo Shift Kit in their aging transmission to help aid against the common P1811 code.
    The Transgo SK4T65E Shift Kit alone is a Rebuilders type kit which simply means it is intended to be installed during a rebuild and due to this there are no seals or gaskets included out of the box. We sell a lot of these kits and suggest replacing the accumulator body gasket/plate and filter if solely planning to install the accumulator body parts of this kit to help the transmission perform better. We felt it would be easier to just offer a kit with the required gaskets and seals as well as a filter so the wearable items are covered in one package.
    Here is a list of what our Combo kit includes-

    -Transgo SK4T65E Shift Kit
    -SPX Filtran Filter
    -Accumulator Body Gasket/Plate
    -Accumulator Piston Seals
    - 2-1 Servo Housing to Case seal
    -Scotchbrite Pad Strip

    We include a strip of Scotchbrite Pad to lightly scuff the accumulator bores which is suggested in the automatic transmission aftermarket rebuilder world.
