My 4T65E shiftkit has arrived finally, tiny little box, just came with 2 rubber bands and a bag of springs. Now I want to do this once and do it right, the problem is I have to get it done at a shop and the instruction pamphlet in the shiftkit is saying all kinds of things about replacing hard parts and torque converters, I just want to install the accumulater upgrade, how do I explain this to a regular mechanic. Should I tell then to Lucas and flush? I just dont want to take any chances.

What shift kit did you go with? If its just the accumulator springs, you can do that yourself.

SK4T65E from Transgo, I have no mechanical expertise.

The TransGo kit comes with a few extra parts and the instructions cover a lot more than the shift kit; ignore all that doesn't apply to you. I think it was page 1 that showed the accumulator, so just focus on that.
My buddy installed mine a few weeks ago. If he wasn't so anal and meticulous (sp?) it would have taken less than 30 minutes.
Here is my write-up: clicky clicky.
As for the price of the kit, I was quoted $120 from a wholesaler, but I didn't trust him. I had my tech buddy call the same place and his cost was $72, so he ordered it up for me.

Bronco, I'm going to upload some pictures for extra clarification:
The box, i'm pretty sure I got the right kit:
Two separate baggies with rubber bands:
Tiny bag with spring:
Big bag of springs:
Manual that wants me to do a rebuild:

Just use the shift kit write up. Should be all you need.

Any settings or options I should make a mechanic aware of? And should the tranny get serviced or conditioned before or after?

just drain the trans fluid, put in shift kit and then put the filter and pan back on and re fill with 7-8 quarts of trans fluid and thats it.
