Greetings,
I have a 98 4x2, 4.6, w/AOD tranny. A few months ago I had a reputable transmission shop install a Transgo AOD-HP Reprogramming Kit. The builder worked closely with the techs at Transgo in determining that the kit would work in the 98 version of the AODE (although the kit specifies 83-93). The kit is strictly mechanical. I can attest to the performance increase and I'm very pleased with the results. Although, I have voided the warranty . But, that's OK! ;-}

I'm thinking about a Super Chip, and was wondering if anyone has chipped a truck with a mechanical shift kit installed. I get real quick, firm shifts now. There's really no slamming of the gears, and from what I know (which is very little about tranny's) is that the kit basically improves the durability through the replacement of some valves, springs, and pistons within the tranny, which in turn, firms up and quickens the shifts. I get real smooth kick downs, as well.

I guess I could try mailing Super Chips. But, last tme I tried to ask them a question I got a boiler plate response/promo. Anyone have any thoughts? Appreciate any input. Thanks.

Dan: if you haven't already, post this question in the superchips section. Mike T will answer this for you, he's the guru on anything dealing with chips and other mods. He wont give you the runaround and he will answer in a way that is completely understandable

Oh, the guy that dies with the most toys comes back as a TOYota salesman!!

I installed the TransGo shift kit about 11000 miles ago and have been running a Superchips for almost all of that time and mileage. They work good together.
