My impressions. The 3rd gear clutches were smoked and costing me power. The transmission feels very tight on the road. The shifts are quick and firm. Between the long tube headers and the Tranny work the truck feels much more aggressive on the road.
If you don't need or want a complete rebuild you can swap the tranny pan for 4x4 pan with drain that holds 1 quart or 2 more and get a line mod valve

The line mod valve will help you get 2nd gear chirps and will save wear and heat in the tranny....
