(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Lugi20

Alright, I saved up enough money and I'm going to buy a few nice little things for my car and I really want to hear some imput from you guys!

-Baumann Shift Kit
-Baumann Pressure Regulator Valve
-1-2 accumulator upgrade(should I get both upper and lower springs?)
-2-3 accumulator upgrade(I want to leave the spring in, what is the difference?)
-Tranny cooler(Which works best for my upgrades?)

I need to start ordering today because I already have the maintenance day scheduled at a local tranny shop. Thanks everyone!

if you install the kit, i don't think you need to upgrade the accumulators - do you?

If you are in there, and you can afford it....might as well do it.

ok - i was under the impression that the baumann kit took care of the accumulators.

No. The kit takes the place of a JMod. The JMod does not include the accumulators. The 1-2 accumulator should definitely be replaced, as that is a known problem. The springs are up to you. The less springs, the harder the shifts. You may talk to Baumann and ask their advice on that. You might just do a search for transmission coolers as I remember this coming up several times. There are several out that will work fine. Good luck!
