[QUOTE="langod, post: 14841762, member: 56170"] [b]Tell me about shift kits / valve bodies[/b] I have a AOD equipped 1990 GT convertible. I'm looking to get better shifting out of it -- longer time in 2nd & 3rd gear, downshifting without having to mat the throttle, etc. Right now (stock) it has the hurry-into-overdrive behavior that Ford undoubtedly set up for MPG. But this is a weekend cruiser, not a race car. So I'm looking at shift-kits / valve bodies and have some questions. (I know nothing about automatic transmissions.) Is a performance valve body just a stock one that has a shift kit already installed?? Will a valve body change the shift points, or just make it shift harder? A valve body seems like an easier install, is that right? Will either a shift kit or a valve body hold 2nd & 3rd gear longer without manually shifting or doing the 1-2-1 shuffle) FWIW - I'm considering these. Other than the manual shifting "hold" feature, whats the difference between these two?
