I guess I could invest that 700 dollars into something else. If I put a good synthetic fluid in it along with my two coolers and installed a temp gauge to watch temps I'd most likely be just fine. I still am going to have the shift kit installed though, main reason I want the shift kit installed is because it has a feature that makes the transmission lube its self while in park.
For some reason these old 727 based transmissions don't lube them selves in park, it has to be in neutral. I am pretty anal about making sure I let the truck warm up while in nuetral to get the fluid circulating through the transmission, but every once in awhile I forget, so it would be nice for it to circulate while in park. Plus it modifys the valve body to get atf to critical parts quicker and provides quicker shifts.
What?
How does that work. Park is neutral,so how does that work.
