Just drill the holes out in the separator plate like the transgo kit says; don't even buy a shift kit. I do it to every tf that comes thru here.

Everybody wants a nice clean quick shift at moderate speeds, but second gear scratch at wide open throttle. Drilling the max sizes usually gets that. The kit has the new manual valve that charges the converter in park, but it still has to be checked in neutral. The cheapo TransGo kits are all over ebay for $25 free shipping. They have the new manual valve.
looked and never found a tf2 under $60.00. they got some for 30-35 but they are not tf2

Unless you want to go racing, stay away from the TF-2 kit; too much work. Plus you have to remove the valve body and change the orifice plug hole to dial in the 2-3 shift until you get it right. Ebay item #373018264077 RV Heavy Duty Shift Kit $25.95 free shipping.

Oh you def have to remove the vb; no biggie there. And splitting the vb isn't too bad; just take it apart filter side up. There's one screw that has to come out from the other side; so do it first. I'd say adjusting the new manual valve is the trickiest part; but just follow the instructions, and keep going back over them. And do this on a large enough work surface that has an edge to catch rolling parts... But they don't tell you "everything" so check in here if you have questions.
