Mine is holding up pretty well considering I`ve just got a good rebuild with borg-warner clutches, one of Dave G`s triple disc TCs, and a Trans-Go kit. 3 years old and close to 70,000 on the rebuild and it`s didn`t skip a beat laying down 422/903.
I'd agree with this too.

I think a lot of the perceived issues with the transgo valve body kits stems from installation errors and/or putting them into valve bodies that are worn out to begin with. I've seen burnt up trannys due to these issues several times, including multiple failures of the same trans because the valve body issues were overlooked.

I've used the transgo kits with no issues in a variety of different apps, including the overdrive torqueflites.

I'd agree, if a tranny is on its last leg and/or slipping to begin with no valve body is going to help it.
