Message:
Solved my problem 2-3 shift early at full throttle [4500 rpm] verses 5200 rpm before transgo installation. my truck is a 2000 r/t with most of the popular bolt ons including the mopar pcm. anyway the transgo kit comes with four different springs for the TV valve, white-red-yellow-orange. Orange spring was installed as recommended in the kit instructions. Full throttle 1-2 shifts were correct-5200rpms but the 2-3 shifts were early 4200 to 4500 unless shifting manually, which I found distracting to do. I dropped the pan and reinstalled the stock TV spring [ which by the way is orange in color also] and now the trans shifts at 5200 at full throttle every time. Also the trans behaves better at part throttle, holds gears longer part throttle not so much up down cant decide what gear it wants behavior.

Not to hard, drop the pan and filter, remove the TV arm[ the one the TV cable attaches to] remove the two screws for the line pressure spring retainer and rotate the retainer ever so slightly so the TV plunger can be pulled out to access the TV spring. Transgo kit had an instruction sheet on how to do this,if you have a fax number I could possibly sent you a copy.
