Shift Kit + EDGE

[Canadian Expy]

Another thread is talking about the Trans Go shift kits , wondering if putting one in mine along with the EDGE reprogramming would it cause any issues ?

A shift kit is preferable to a line pressure increase via a handheld tuner. It actually will help reduce tranny wear as the internal clutch/plate will have less slippage. It reduces the duration of the shift so they don't feel like mush. It will usually give you a nice snap in the shifts though. If your wife/girlfriend rides in the vehicle a lot, you might get a few comments how hard/jerky the shifts are.
A line pressure increase actually increases tranny wear, so I would advise against that if you have a higher mileage vehicle.
Do a search for Gregg Evans and read some of his work on the subject. He is the Ford transmission guru and suggests a shift kit (replacement of the shift plate/body) for a longer lasting tranny.

Interesting read on the Trans and Gregg Evans , good call.
I think it may be time to invest into some Trans goodies. Better cooler , Bigger pan, filter and shift kit. Has anyone here actuallty done any of this?

Heres the pan I bought at half the price of the expensive aluminum ones..was like 129.00, deep capacity, drain plug and cooling tubes as oppose fins...

I got the trans pan before I got the edge....so im not sure...however like yesterday it was 84 degrees here and cruising at 75mph my engine temp stays at 192 and trans temp is 165 to 170....Its never gone above 175

Transmission mods are next on my list too....those e4ods are pricy when they go.
