Another good thing that came out of it is that my downshifts under acceleration are much quicker. Even over 200° with the shift kit installed, the shifts don't get nearly as slow as they used to, and I doubt max adapt will ever come back. I installed it to help with my max adapt problem resulting from slow shifts. My regular up shifts were already very fast to begin with when the trans was below 200☏.

In my opinion, it's a "This is how the car should have come" patch kit. I am very happy with the results of this shift kit. This is not needed if you've been following the recommended service intervals of at most every 50k miles. I also did a transmission fluid exchange that I will include at the very bottom. While you are that far in the transmission, you would have already removed the things to do a pan drop service, so fluid and a filter will be included in this write-up. This write-up can also be used for other shift kits, just use the instructions you got once you get to rebuilding the accumulator. It's still overall an easy thing to do, and doesn't require many tools. The accumulator must also be removed and "rebuilt". Difficulty would be a 3/5 since you have to do a little more than dropping the pan. I performed it on my 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix, but would work for any other car with the 4t65E. This is my first write-up/how to, and will be on installing a TransGo shift kit on the 4T65E Transmission.
