so what would happen if one has the transgo kit installed and decided to do this as well? I can't remember if replacing a spring on the plunger you pictured was part of my transgo kit or not? Just curious what the effects would be if I were to dial that plunger up to 3 and adjust the kickdown and tranny cables?
I have a question. How does this mod differ from just adjusting the tranny cable on the throttle body? the TB cable adjusts tranny pressure according to engine load so tightening it up should solve the problem. Then what is this valve body sleeve/plunger mod for? What are the differences and benefits?
Murf, what are the dimensions of the washer used?![]()
So I understand (correct me if I am wrong) that ECU deals with shift points and controls the three solenoids (two gear solenoids and one for lockup), the cable controls pressure (whatever pressure it is) and the plunger mod controls... (????)

So in summary, would it be best to do the washer mod on the valve body then tune with the cable setting? Since they both do the same it seems best to max out the VB since that isn't easy to get to but the cable linkage has a decent adjustment range.

I just flushed the trans, dropped the leaky pan, turned the plunger to the max (decided not to do the washer mod, wanted to stay conservative on a 212k trans), and changed out the filter. Refilled with full syn ATF. Adjusted the cable a couple turns. The difference is night and day! Wish I would have done this when I lifted my truck. Its a joy to drive again. "jumps" off the line now, rather then just slowly gaining speed before. Would recommend this to anyone with larger tires! do it!

Now for a question. I am a little confused from the OP's instructions. There is ONLY ONE cable on the throttle body that directly relates to the transmission and that needs to be adjusted, correct?
I know the OP mentioned 2 cables but from what I understand the other one is just the standard throttle pedal cable? Thanks for the clarification.
