Thread: DIY How To Install TransGo Shift Kit 4T65E Very Detailed+Pictures

Kit is the same, doesnt matter what car you own.

Just do a pan drop, you are getting most of the fluid out by doing it. I advise against flush machines but exchange machines are just fine, they use the transmissions pump itself to exchange the fluid on it's own.

Okay, that's what I figured. I'll just do a pan drop when I get to it.

A pan drop gets about half the fluid, not "most" of it.

More than half. What is the capacity? Like 12.5 quarts? With the transgo kit you'll end up changing like 8 of those.
Then at the end of this how to I exchange an additional couple quarts from the torque converter.

Ya, 12 or 13 quarts. 8 is far from "most", for me anyways.

We use litres. 1 quart = .94 litres, so basically the same. I've never put more than 7 litres, usually 6.25-6.5 litres.

Google led me to a page where a guy did a pan drop and had to put 10+ quarts in.

So, picked up an '06 N/A Prix with 230k - little slippage occasionally shifting into 1st and 2nd. Had a transmission filter and Dexron 6 put in at 164k in 2014. Fluid still looks great.
So.... my shopping list is:
TransGo Shift kit

Wix Automatic Transmission Filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C9TD66...ing=UTF8&psc=1
8 Quarts of Dex6
24oz Lucas Trans Fix
reuse the old seal if it looks good
Should be good, aye?

Okay, thanks for the info guys - I remember reading that page where someone put that much in, lol.

Installed the TransGo shift kit about 2 months ago. Works great and car shifts real good!! I purchased the recommended Hose Retainer from RockAuto as suggested and installed it as well. When I received it, I thought they sent me the wrong part. I wasn’t really sure what to expect. So, below are 2 pics with the retainer installed for reference, for other guys looking to do this. Also, shipping costs more than the part, so order some brake pads or something else, lol.

Changed my fluid, filter and installed a TransGo today.
TransGo was easier to install that I thought it was going to be.
While cleaning out my drain pan I found a part. The THERMOSTATIC ELEMENT.
Looks like I'll be dropping the pan and filter again tomorrow.

TransGo has been in for a week now and I'm really happy with the results. Feels like a totally different car again. Quick smooth shifts. More enjoyable to drive now compared to the way it was.

Mines been in for little over two weeks, I'm happy with how it feels now, and it's given me more time to get all of the fancy hard parts that I want.

Thanks John.

Looks like 2 weeks for mine too......That went by quick. 310 miles so far this week and still just over 1/4 tank remaining. I like it.

I just filled up, lol.

Got a little more throttle happy since the kit, I had to test it a little. So I only got about 300 miles out of a full tank.

Totally worth it, though.

Same here...a bit. Just filled it up an hour ago...25.2mpg. The highest since I bought it.

I've gotten 28, driving like a grandma... But that's no fun. Lol

Yup
