After having the transmission act up almost every single time I drove it, it hasn't had any problem at all since installing the shift kit.
The time to install the cooler still eludes me. I just don't want to hurry it and do a hack job but I will be doing it. IMO the 2-3 shift is still a little weird sometimes, but only when hot and apparently not weird enough to trigger the code. The next time I drop the pan I'm going to put in the Transgo large 2-3 spring in place of the stock.
I'm really happy with all of this and am convinced that this is just poor GM design of this accumulator (though others might have the EPC solenoid problem).
