Shifting problem continues

[EvilManor]

Nah... a shift kit is so simple anyone can do it. B&M sells their shift kit in a flat but large package... & it's expensive. Go to NAPA & buy their "shift improver kit" if you want it to shift hard. Their kit comes in a small manilla envelope, all that's in it is 3 or 4 steel balls & a diagram of where to put them in the valve body. No drilling required. You remove all the stock balls & replace them as shown on the diagram... & think it was like $22 for the last one I bought. KEEP IN MIND this is for HARDER shifts, not modulation problems with shifting too late or too soon.

So there's not anything accessible from removing the tranny pan cover that would need to be replaced besides the filter for OEM shifting?

I've heard of putting a shift kit in a trans but that involves pulling the valve body and drilling holes and stuff. It not something that is a replaceable part.

Ok, I've checked all the vacuum lines, replaced the modulator, fixed a hard line leak to the tranny cooler and bought a filter kit. While talking to my brother he said that I might want to go ahead and replace the shift kit while I'm in there.

I'm not real sure what this is, but it didn't seem to be all that involved. I've checked local parts places, but can't find one. Any body got any ideas where to look?
