Transgo shift kit and pistons too?

I did pretty much what everyone has mentioned (TransGo 1-2 & 2-3 accumulator springs & spacers, the 2 TSB magnets, & Sonnax Lube Tube retainer). I did however, also replace the piston seals (O Rings) and the accumulator cover gasket. We'll see how this plays with the occasional P1811 I've been getting when the trans is very hot.
 
When I installed the TransGo kit I felt the difference before I got to the end of my block!!!
 
Keeping the trans under 200° helps a lot. In addition to running Dexron 6 fluid should help prolong the life of the trans
 
No, the pipe that I ordered arrived extremely rusted, am guessing it had been sitting in a damp warehouse for a long time. So I used the rubber hose part off the new one, but re-used my old metal pieces as there wasn’t anything wrong with them. This youtube video shows the pipes pretty good. It will all make sense once you get it opened up. And also, I highly recommend siphoning out as much fluid as you can before dropping the pan. Makes much less mess but have your drain pan ready to go as there is still a lot of fluid that will come out. It’s messy, but im almost 15,000 miles later and it still shifts perfectly. Never thought these little springs would make such a difference but they do.

Oh and just to clarify, I never found the new design pipe like you found so thats why I stayed with the original and just replaced the rubber part and installed the stabilizing clip. Hope this helps!

Do the o-rings on the pistons need replacing? What about the small section of rubber hose?
