[QUOTE="langod, post: 14980660, member: 56170"] Just wanted to give this an update. I went with the Silver Fox Transmissions SPT-1 Stage 1 valve body. It's exactly what I wanted with better shift points and slightly firmer shifts. Car is still nice and gentle with reasonable shift points for just cruising, but when you mat the loud pedal, it holds the gears to a decent RPM and shifts nice and firm! The kick-down point is better too - as stock it wouldn't shift down unless you pretty much floored it, now it'll shift down with about 1/2 throttle -- about where you'd expect. I've been in some cars with valve bodies that even at low throttle, the shifts still punch you in the back every time. This one (Stage One) isn't like that. When you get on it, it shifts fast and firm, but when just loafing around it, the firmness isn't much different than stock. It fixes the early 2-3 shift at low throttle -- it holds 2nd until about 2500 rpm under light acceleration. The early rush into OD is fixed too. The factory setup wants to go into OD at 40mph unless it's WOT. Now with any reasonable throttle it will hold 3rd until about 50 mph. Out of the box, the WOT shift point seems to be about about 5500, but it can be adjusted by dropping the pan and turning a screw. (I put in a drain plug and used a reusable gasket, just in case I wanted to adjust it.) It was pretty easy install. I'm a real basic back-yard mechanic -- I'd never done a valve body before and in fact, I'd only ever dropped the pan on (another) automatic once. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Don't need any special tools other than a torque wrench that will adjust to 100 in/lbs or so. I did it on a lift, which made it pretty easy. Anyway, I highly recommend it.
