I've heard mixed reviews on Dex 6. Some seem to experience slippage with it. Who knows if they already have issues or not. So being that dex 3 is lower cost and proven to work well, it seemed like the better recommendation. Synthetic versions of dex 3 have also given mixed results...once again.. who knows the condition of the trans.

I'm about to try out Dex 6 Walmart brand in a trans I recently built. Til I have some long term results... I don't like to suggest mixed result things.

Alright, Dex 3 sounds good then.
Although the shift kit may not help the issue I'm trying to get it to last as long as possible before HAVING to get it rebuilt.

Which shift kit would you recommend?

THRASHER Shift Kit for your 4T65e - from the home of Thrasher Engineered Performance

I've read great things about the intense one..
INTENSE-Racing.com: INTENSE™ Street/Strip Performance Shift Pak®


I would follow this how-to.

Alright, nice! Thanks for the link.

Should I go with the 64.95 one or the 89.95 one?

As far as I can tell the 89.95 one doesn't have gaskets. I'm pretty confused on what the differences are between the two. Should that how-to I posted work well? and does the Transgo shift kit include instructions on the shift firmness, etc?

Alright cool. Anything I should know it?
