    I'm pretty much a noob so bear with me. I have not found instructions that I'm satisfied with since the write-up link on here isn't working. I'm looking to use the medium setting. Which colored springs have to be used on each accumulator? And if I use the optional spring for one of the accumulators, which spring is it? I'm assuming both the long and short spacer is used on each rod, long one first with the short one on top.

    I don't need pictures. Just want to make sure I put the right springs/spacers in each accumulator. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Haha. For a daily driver I think the medium is more than enough.

    Also, after opening the bag I realize I have two of the longer spacers, and only one of the shorter. Hopefully it's supposed to be like that.

    The tranny has a lot of miles on it, and to be honest I don't know how long it has left. I'd be more comfortable just firming up the shifts a little in the meantime until I get a new vehicle. Medium is perfect for that.

    The trans go kit has instructions.

    And yes it only has 2 longs and 1 short.

    IIRC the 2-3 has 3 springs and uses both spacers, long and short. the 1-2 uses 2 springs and 1 long.

    The transgo kit is more of a mild shift kit and fix it kit, the thrasher kit has more than 1 setting you can pick.

    The transgo kit only has 1 setting. Its NOT a performance shift kit. Its just a normal mild shift kit to help the trans from the factory faults, its far better than the stock settings.

    If you read about the kit on triple edge performance it says it right in the text about it.

    I assumed from reading other sites that there was more than one setting. But one setting makes sense and now the instructions seem to be more clear. Thanks for the help fivefingerdeathpunch.

    Intense and thrasher are the kits that have adjustable settings. As stated the transgo is a mild set up. No adjustability.

    Here are the istructions for the kit
