Jmod Parts question

[RedHotMark96]

I'm about to order the parts for the jmod and accumulator upgrade.
I used this page as a guide for part numbers:
http://www.tccoa.com/articles/tranny/transmission/d96.jpg
However I thought it isn't necessary to do the reverse and OD servos, am I right?

So are the only things I need to buy: 1-2 accumulator piston, 1-2 lower spring, 1-2 upper spring, 2-3 accumulator piston, the two separator plate gaskets, and the pan filter? Thats 7 items, is there anything else?
I read most people leave the 2-3 spring out.

Also the drill specs on that link only say 300-450, is this what I want to drill to? I'm looking for firm shifts, maybe chirping tires at WOT (dont really mind) but want the shifts soft enough in normal driving so that they dont bother my passengers.

Finally I'm going to buy a trans cooler. I was thinking of the B&M 70264 (http://store.summitracing.com/partd...400004+4294888847+4294906626+115&autoview=sku)
because some other people posted it. Is this one strong enough for my car or do I need something better?
Thanks in advance.

That sounds right for the parts list. If you order from Max at 5-Star, he has the whole list including the correct part numbers.

I bought the same cooler you're looking at. You should consider getting the fittings that Driller mentions in this thread, instead of using the fittings that come with the kit:

Listen to what he says. I did both the trans cooler and j-mod and that is exactly what I did. Both work great.

Is there anywhere I can get those fittings in an actual store rather than online? Shipping charges are more that the part costs.

Try the local dealer, with these parts OEM is the only way to go. Buying online and paying shipping is probably a lot cheaper then going to dealer though.

the tranny fittings from ford are $13 and I am not shure they would work I didnt look at them in person
