I've got to get some installation work done, but don't know for sure what is a reputable shop on the west side of the metroplex. Anyone have any suggestions?

Try Buck's Transmissions. They're east of I-35W, north of I-20, and south of I-30 inside the loop. If I remember, they are on Wi****a St. over near Nichols Ford. I know plenty of people that have nothing but good things to say about them. Hope this helps.

I couldn't get them to answer the phone.

If I remember, they close for lunch...maybe closed on Mondays. Try again today.

Thanks, got them late yesterday and I think I'm set up for tomorrow. Just need to work out alternate transportation.

FYI. Buck's did a good job for me. got the truck in earlier than the other folks were going to be able to and at about half the price.

Good deal...what did you get done?

I attempted to install a Factory Tech valve body and accumulators for my 4R70W trans. Valve body and 1-2 & 2-3 accumulators went fine. Apparently when I did the od accumulator, I didn't get some pin pushed against a band. The end result was that I had no overdrive and no second gear braking.

Decided to let a professional correct my errors.

Glad you got it figured out, how do you like it?

Also, thanks for getting me a good description of what went wrong, I'll modify the instructions to make it more clear about getting the pin from the servo into the band.

So far it's great. A significant improvement (IMHO) over the transgo shift kit. With light throttle, the shifts are smooth and quick without banging... get into it and bark the tires from 1-2 easily, even on concrete! Haven't wound it out yet to feel the other gears shift.
