Well, this one turned out just as good as the one I recently installed in my '99 Lightning.

TransGo gives you a few different specs to use when drilling the holes in the accumulator plate. I used the "diesel" specs on my Lightning b/c that's my vehicle and I don't mind a firmer shift. I used the V8 specs on the '00 5.4 Expy. I already have a chip in it, so the shifts are better from the factory to begin with.

But, they are excellent now. Quick, firm shifts, but not obnoxious at all. Even got a tiny chirp on the 1-2 shift at full throttle. Just driving around, you _know_ its there b/c you installed it, but not b/c its snapping your neck or anything.

Since mine is a 2WD, I installed the 4WD pan (the 5.4 trucks come with the 4R100 diesel trans) and filter...holds an extra quart of fluid and has a nice drain plug on it (instead of having to drop the pan EVERY time you want to change the fluid).

Sounds good.
You have to drop the oil pan every time you change your oil on the 2wd? Thats crazy!!

 

Yes, the 2WD version does not come with a drain plug. Neither did the 4R100 trans pan on my '99 Lightning.

But, they both do now!
