My arms are not what they used to be! I would go with#1 and be done with it.
Just keep in mind some valve body rebuild kits affect clutch and band timing and require extra springs in the clutch to make the clutch disengage before the band applies. Make sure you know what you are doing or you will have binding of the clutch and band. You can’t just rework a valve body anyway you want and have good results.
Yes the TFSC kit is mild and would be one a novice could install without internal transmission upgrades above stock components.The Transgo TF-SC kit is as mild as they come and the only one I would consider for a C-body. It has very detailed instructions and comes with everything that's needed.
I wouldn't mess with anything from the big name catalog sites...
Trans-go offers kits from the TF-SC to a full manual option TF-3. So no you can't just use any level of kit in the VB and expect perfect results. After the TF-1 level I start adding springs in the front clutch so you don't get a 2-3 bind.Trans-Go kits are excellent, you will not have a problem no matter which level/kit you go with.
They did not seem like the full manual kind of people. If they are going for somewhere HP/heavy duty well I would have to assume (my bad) they would also follow the FSM for a heavy duty/HP trans. Or at a minimum ask more questions. I see you point, I will not call out excellent products anymore for fear that someone may misuse them.Trans-go offers kits from the TF-SC to a full manual option TF-3.
