im thinking about putting a a shift kit in my ranger. just wondering on how hard this is to do because this is my first auto trans. and dont have the money to wreck it. also is it worth it or is it just a go fast thing.

Hi, I am going to attempt to put in a mustang shift unit into my truck and replaceing the 60/40 split with buckets. Now with that said it never entered my mind to go all out with a full shift kit for I figured the stang would do what i needed to do. I will be just getting the parts from wreckers. cheaper that way. I was looking thru this forum for info when i came across your post. so if anyone can chime in about using stang shifters on the floor/ or other cars linkages to what has worked best please give the info. thanks

there is a good kit by a company called "shift", it has a new valve, spring and pintel for the modulator valve and govenor valve springs and 3 valve body springs that will make it better but u will have to drill the valve body to release the extra pressure... i did it to mine but it didnt work cause my valve body is warped

I installed a TransGo kit in my 91 about 5 years ago now. It was pretty straight forward, just follow the instructions. You have to drill 1 hole, and replace a bunch of the springs in the valves and the servo. A4LD-JR is the part number for the transgo kit.

Firmer more positive shifts, and quick down shifts. Overall much better shift quality.

Manually shifting it under WOT I could chirp the tires into 2nd (with my 31's, not my 36's)

I know this is an old thread, but my tranny's acting terrible. Somebody told me it has a shift kit in it. It must be faulty or something, maybe a sticky valve. I'm assuming I have overdrive since it has the 1-2-D-OD on the shift column or whatever but it has never even tried to shift into another gear after 3rd, and it has extremely late shifts, like over 2500rpms everytime. Shift from 1st to 2nd is terribly hard and 2nd to 3rd is a lil better. Anybody care to tell me if I should just get a new valve body and will it fix these problems.
