th350 shift kit question
Hello all, Im new to this forum and have some questions about the valve body in a th350. I recently rebuilt it and have been doing alot of reading about different things one can do to make it shift harder. I was reading a thread on another forum and it said that removing the spring from the 2-3 accumulator will make a quicker and firmer shift. My questing is which spring is to be removed? Is it the one under the servo in the case or the one in the valve body itself under the silver cup thing with c clip holding it on. Also, does anyone have any other suddgestion before I install the vlave body. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I believe the transgo shift kit will swap it to a manual valve body for that transmission, but I'm not 100% sure
btw BBB did you install it yourself, or have a shop? if you did install it yourself, how hard was the install?

They have two different kits, one retains full auto shifting in drive, the other is full manual. I still have auto though I shift it manually when racing. The shift kit was installed when I had the tranny built so I can't tell you how complicated it may or may not be. They claim it to be pretty simple and it comes with instructions and a video so I'd say someone with decent mechanical skills could figure it out.

RonB, are you talking about the 1-2 servo that is located on the side of the case? I have already left that one out. The 2-3 or "band" servo is located under the valve body in the case. I am wondering which one to leave out, the one "in" the valve body itself or in the case under the valve body. Im asking because it sounds like the spring you are refering to is the one I already left out behind the 1-2 servo located on the side of the case. Sorry to drag out this boaring post, I just dont want to get it wrong and have to fix it laying on my back with tranny fluid dripping all over me. Any help would be great, thanks!.
