Hey all i have the 4r70w tranny in my 98gt i just wanted to know some opinions about some decent upgrades just to make the transmission shift a lil quicker and snappier between upshifts

you can get a tuner and set your shift points to exactly where you want em.

Transgo shift kit, tune, torque converter is a different story but those help, etc. there's a bunch of stuff you can do with our Autos. i'm really excited about getting mine worked

yea those sound like good ideas but since my tranny has 156k on it im just wondering if changing anything with a tuner would mess it up??? Im not going to risk anything on it since theres no problems and the tranny is shifting fine...maybe when its time for a rebuild i'll try the kevlar lined bands and shift kit....

i heard that Kevlar bands should only be used in endurance race cars but i may be wrong

Kevlar does slip and create heat. I don't use it on street driven setups because of that.

In these cars there are only 2 bands. 1 for reverse and 1 for overdrive. Leave the reverse alone and get a cerbon overdrive band for the overdrive.

Get ahold of this guy for that

a nice valvebody/shiftkit and a nice torque converter will both help your transmission's life...
