    Thanks Stuzman, thanks exactly what I wanted to know. So it sounds like many with the Transgo kit just primarily do the 1-2 and 2-3 work where its easy, and dont take out or drop the tranny to get to the VB to do the 3-4 and other work. Of course if you dont have access to a lift or aren't very mechanical I can see why many wouldnt get to the side cover!

    Yes, that's right threepttilt; that's my understanding about the Transgo kit. It's probably meant to be used in an overhaul. But as you mentioned, most guys probably do it for the springs in the accumulators which are easy to access. I forgot to mention that the kit also comes with a long lip seal for the reverse servo piston. However, I believe with most rebuild kits or at least with the Transtec master rebuild kit that I'm using now, the long lip seal is already included. And as far as the 3rd clutch inner lip seal that I mentioned earlier, a long lip seal is already included in the Transtec rebuild kit. So, with two of the items, it's a wash. In my earlier post, I mentioned that the 3-4 accumulator is located behind the case cover. I corrected that now and meant to say that it's behind the channel plate which of course covers the sprockets and chain. To get to that joker, you'll have to remove the valve body and lot of other stuff before you get to that.

    Yes, the TransGo kit has a lot of parts in it to cover several different issues. I just put the shift kit in to get rid of the slow 1-2, 2-3 shifting. If I need to drop it to get at the side cover, the tranny will get overhauled so I don't have to do it again.

    if you're worried about heat you can install a good tranny cooler, mine rarely sees north of 150* on the hottest days
