Question For Our Resident Tech Guys

[grampadirt]

Can you guys suggest the easiest way to firm up the shifting in my '95 Burb.Info:K2500,lifted,4:56 gears,rear Detroit,7.4L.I know there are shift kits available.Is there one better than another? I have an aftermarket auxilliary trans cooler(bought from JEGS) which I intend to install sometime soon.. Also I tow my 7,000lb. toy hauler several time a year.Where is the best place to connect a trans temp gauge.I tow in the hottest time of the year here in CA. and go thru our deserts where the temp gets above 100* on a regular basis if that helps any.. so far no probs but I wanna prolong the life of said tranny as long as possible TIA

Here's a pic of the Burb

I have a B&M shift kit in my 4L60E and I am very happy with it. I also have the B&M Shift Improver Switch...

 

 

It made a difference, but with the shift kit and the hypertech installed, I didn't notice a huge improvement. It is cheap and easy to install.

This is on your '95,right? Have you installed a tranny temp gauge?

I installed a B&M deep sump pan, is very thick alluminum, i drilled and tapped for a probe and read the temp from there!

That's a great idea... get the stuff from JEGS or Summit?

An easy and best way for the probe is to drill and tap the pan. Yes a VB kit is the best way to firm them shifts.
